Wildside is the fifth studio album by Canadian rock band Loverboy, released in September 1987. [2] It was the band's first to not turn platinum, signalling a decline in their popularity.
Cash Box cited the "driving rock melodies" of the single "Love Will Rise Again", which "continues in band's established tradition of melodic power-rock". [3]
Of the album, Musician reviewer J. D. Considine wrote simply: "Take a walk." [4]
