Keep Your Hands Off My Power Supply is a studio album by the British rock group Slade, released in America and Canada on April 2, 1984.

[2] All tracks are written by Noddy Holder and Jim Lea"Keep Your Hands Off My Power Supply" is about a drunk driver with an "amorous female" as passenger being followed by the police.

[7] Upon release, Chicago Tribune noted Slade's "sledgehammer style" being similar to the "intensity of metal attacks", but with an approach "more melodic".

The review concluded: "Their tunefulness and their humor make them a wonderful alternative to such grim successors as Judas Priest, or even the colorless Quiet Riot.

"[11] Philadelphia Daily News felt the album did not contain anything "quite so inspired and grungy" as "Mama Weer All Crazee Now", but added: "fans of light heavy metal and Joan Jett's style of headbashing will find this batch of grunge very much to their liking.

"[15] Springfield Leader & Press described the album as containing "pretty simple rockers" and "piledriving rock 'n' roll", with a "goofy sense of fun", "memorable chorus[es]" and "lots of guitar".

"[16] The Odessa American wrote: "Half of this album is negligible, but 10 years after Slayed?, this veteran troupe still delivers non-bombastic rock melodies, charming ballads and of course, misspelled song titles.

"[14] In a retrospective review, Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic summarised the album as showing that Slade "are still the masters of loud, trashy hard rock.
