Rating: - oh dear!
As I said...oh dear! So DC hit the big time with this one - success in the States. It makes me wince just thinking about it. It also makes me wince to read some of the reviews here. This ablum is not even in the same league as Come n get it & Ready n willing. They were Mr Coverdales musical peaks in terms of creativity with this band. Any essence of what the band stood for was lost at this point. This was just a vehicle for a bunch of musical mercenaries to come in and make stacks of cash before ... Read More
Rating: - The Best of Whitesnake
From the product description: "While the album wasn't on par with such past releases as 1984's SLIDE IT IN and 1987's smash self-titled release..."
What an utter load of you know what. Vai destroys all those who went before him and Coverdale delivers a Leviathan vocal effort that you will be hard-pressed to find anywhere else. Combine that with wonderful songs and fantastic production and you've got the best album Whitesnake ever made. I simply do not fathom the old stalwarts' objections ... Read More
Rating: - Best Whitesnake Album!
In my opinion, this is the best Whitesnake album! It has my fav ever whitesnake song 'The Deeper the love' on it and the ever so catchy 'Kittens got claws'! Not to mention the 2nd time round for 'Fool for your loving' Its just a well put together album full of great songs!
Rating: - first impressions
this was the first album i ever heard by whitesnake after finding it in my dads good ol' 80's rock collection. at first i thought this was a shocking album because i had already heard "here i go again" and "is this love" which are of course from the 1987 album.
its common to compare any album to a bands best release but after giving the album a few listens it can be quite addictive and you end up with the songs in your head(now your gone, fool for your loving).
Rating: - Hmmm, don't listen to anybody who tells you this is better than '1987'
So Mr Steve Vai is the axeman of choice for recording duties on this album. The songs are weaker than those on "1987" but surely Vai's guitar rescues the whole thing, right? No! There is little here of melody from Vai, no glorious solos to tug at the heart strings. Just a succession of technical, competent but ultimately dull guitar work. John Sykes, in my opinion, is a MUCH better composer of both riffs and solos. Vai is an astonishing technician but that's as far as it goes. Brilliant player but he's ... Read More
