Rating: - Brilliant vocals, brilliant guitars
I was atttracted to this album after listening to "Here I Go Again" and bought this album a few weeks later. Initially I just listened to that one song but I gave the other songs a go and I realized why Whitesnake are one of the more popular hard rock bands from the 1980s.

Rating: - One of the best!
There is not a single bad song on this album and has some of the best ever whitesnake songs on it!

Rating: - Superb commercial hard rock, it doesn't get much better than this
Brilliant songs, outrageously good guitar from John Sykes and superb rawwwwkkkk production make this without doubt one of THE best rock records of all time. Sure it's commercial but then great songs do appeal to masses of people. Buy it, love it.

This is a fanatastic rock album, if you want underground music this ain't it but this is still one of the best albums ive ever heard.

What really impresses me is the guitarist John Sykes, he's got the definitive hard rock guitar sound on this album- the riffs are tight and heavy but their also musically powerful (which makes a change), his solos are fantastic too; long sustain, really wide vibrato and manic speed in all ...
