Title: Enjoyable release before grunge took over
Review: I consider this album--and this band--somewhat of a copycat effort of others within the "pop metal" genre--bands like Bon Jovi and Europe come to mind. That being said, this is still a very enjoyable listen from the early '90s. "Don't Treat Me Bad" is a great melodic mid-tempo single, and "Love Of A Lifetime" was a big ballad hit. To me, the best track on the album is the single released after these two songs which didn't make it nearly as big--"All She Wrote". Man, what a powerful, melodic, rocking song!Other tracks are also very enjoyable. "Rock On The Radio" is a bit generic but has a big sound. "Shake And Tumble" and "Overnight Sensation" flat-out rock. "Home Is Where The Heart Is" and "Don't Walk Away" are great slower tempo songs--the latter being a true power ballad. All in all, a very good melodic effort a year or so before rock music was eclipsed by the gloomy grunge.
Is the review positive or negative?
