Title: Buyer Beware!
Product review: This review simply serves to assist anyone who may be looking for more of the awesome, cutting-edge hard rock music that Vandenberg put out in the '80's. I recently purchased this CD-hoping for more great Vandenberg hard rock, or maybe a new twist. The musicianship is excellent, as all of the band are talented and prodigious in the hard rock genre. The letdown is that although the production is A-1, the musical compositions are trite, dull, "been there, done that" stuff that really is not imaginative or interesting. These guys are capable of so much more! The guitar work is more like Kings X, with definite Hendrix and Stevie Ray Vaughn influence-moments of brilliance, but mostly musical themes you have heard before. The music is OK; it is just not great. And for any fans of Adrian Vandenberg's artwork, the cover art is substandard as well-my kids could do better with a box of crayons. Proceed with caution...I have a copy I will let go of very cheap! Thanks for reading-John
