The title  is somewhat misleading. Sure, this terrific soundtrack from the 1981 animated cult favorite features heavy metal and hard rock numbers. But the title refers to National Lampoon's sci-fi/fantasy magazine on which the film is based. Musically,  offers more than the title suggests, and the songs fit perfectly with their respective film segments.  was originally a double album, but at 62 minutes it fits just fine on one CD. Sixteen songs are contributed by , , , , , , ,, , , , , and ; , Felder, and each provide two. Most songs are exclusive to this soundtrack. The best-known song here is 's ballad "Open Arms." 's darkly menacing "Veteran of the Psychic Wars" is a haunting gem. 's quirky, new wave interpretation of the -penned "Working in the Coal Mine" was a minor hit. 's blistering "The Mob Rules" is a fine example of the underrated  era. Felder's "Heavy Metal (Takin' a Ride)" and "All of You" are well-crafted, and they make a good argument that he was ' secret musical weapon. 's "True Companion" is a delightful jazz-rock song that would have fit nicely on a  album. The odd thing is this five-minute tune is practically an instrumental;  doesn't start singing until 3½ minutes in. 's "Crazy (A Suitable Case for Treatment)" has a hypnotic rhythm. ' "Blue Lamp" is clean, upbeat pop/rock. 's "Reach Out" and "I Must Be Dreamin'" rely more on synthesizers than power-pop guitars. ' "Radar Rider" is basic, catchy hard rock.  - AllMusic Review by Bret Adams
