Two Steps from the Move [LP]

"Two Steps From The Move" is the fifth studio album by the Finnish rock band Hanoi Rocks from 1984. It is the band's last album to feature the late drummer Razzle.

Prior to this album, all Hanoi Rocks albums were released on Lick Records and Johanna Kustannus, but this was the band's first album on a major label. Originally the album was to be called "Silver Missiles And Nightingales", but the name was changed at the last minute.

The album's producer, Bob Ezrin, had previously worked with big-name artists such as Pink Floyd, Kiss and Alice Cooper, which was one of the main reasons Hanoi Rocks hired him to produce the album. Ezrin wanted the album to have a heavier atmosphere and darker guitar playing than the band's previous works, but still remain melodic and punky. He was also involved in the composition of almost all the songs on the album.

"Two Steps From The Move" was Hanoi Rocks' biggest hit when it was released, reaching number 28 in the UK album charts, along with the singles "Up Around The Bend" and "Don't You Ever Leave Me". The album also gave Hanoi Rocks their first gold record in Finland, but not until 1986 when the group had already disbanded.

"Two Steps from the Move" is often regarded as a glam rock / hard rock classic. The album is available on black vinyl and includes an insert.
