No Protection is the sonic equivalent of a glass skyscraper reflecting a purple sunset. It is an album that exists in the hyper-real, high-definition space of 1987, where every drum hit is cavernous and every synthesizer line is polished to a mirror finish. The record radiates a sense of indestructible optimism, anchored by the vocal chemistry between Mickey Thomas and Grace Slick. Thomas provides the soaring, acrobatic tenor that defines the era's arena rock, while Slick adds a layer of veteran grit that keeps the sugar-coated production from floating away entirely.
