Title: An overlooked gem
Review: King Kobra was a group that enjoyed a somewhat intermittent career during the 1980s. This band had a gift for melodic songwriting. The songs all feature engaging themes, along with catchy hooks. The vocals are both tasteful and pleasant, with nice harmonies. Veteran drummer Carmine Appice lays down powerful rhythms. The guitar riffs and solos complement the singer nicely. Musically, this album sounds like a blend of Triumph and Journey -- metallic instrumental work with smooth, high-range vocals. The mastering on this CD is outstanding, producing crystal clear sound. This band deserved much more recognition that it received. Today, more than twenty years later, the music still holds up, sustaining interest all the way through.
