Saw on Wiki that Violation was supposedly the favorite album of Starz fans....so I listened to the whole thing for first time in years...I'd never really liked it much and always thought Attention Shoppers was far better...but, I gave Violation an honest listen today....and it sorta sucks....at least next to Attention Shoppers. I'm sure some of it is my own personal nostalgic bias, but, I don't think there's any comparison...and the wiki characterization about Violation being metal-er or harder or whatever it said...and A.S. being more mainstream or pop-rock-ish is pure rubbish. 3rd Time's a Charm is a bit weak, but the rest of A.S. is very solid 70's rock and roll.
