Title: Great Songs, Poor Remixing
Product review: This is a KICKASS album with killer songwriting, memorable melodic songs, amazing guitar work by Michael Angelo Batio, and Robert Plant-esque singing by one of rock's underrated singers: Tom Holland. The reason I give this 1985 classic only 1 star is because Wounded Bird Records did a VERY poor job in transferring and mixing it to CD. The sound is muffled and sounds like a homemade bootleg. It's not even remastered! The artwork (especially the back cover) is generic. The CD itself is PINK!As for the songs...they SMOKE! If you're into 80's Dokken and Ratt then you'll dig this CD. It's very hook-laden stuff. This band from Chicago was way ahead of it's time. Why doesn't Atlantic Records (the label that originally released this album in 1985) release it onto CD with proper attention to remastering the sound and exact detail in artwork?
