Y&T FINAL GREAT ALBUM.......2005-06-02

UNFAIRLY UNDERRATED MUCH THE SAME AS "CONTAGIOUS".I LIKE TO THINK OF THIS ALBUM AS Y&T'S HEART,SOUL,SWEAT AND TEARS PUT INTO THIS ALBUM.EVERY SINGLE SONG IS GREAT,THE PRODUCTION DOES JUSTICE TO THIS GREAT BAND,THE ALBUM COVER IS BEAUTIFUL(I'D LIKE TO MEET HER).IT SOUNDS TIGHTER THAN "CONTAGIOUS",NOT BETTER, BUT BETTER PUT TOGETHER I THINK.I WILL ONLY SAY THAT BEING A LONG TIME Y&T FAN, I HAVE ALWAYS EXPECTED THE BEST FROM THIS BAND,AND THIS ALBUM DOESN'T LET ME DOWN.

Y&T were capable of MUCH better...............2005-03-19

With the exception of the opening track(Hard Times), this is filled with cliches and licks done better of previous albums. Maybe it was record comapny pressure to fit in with the times, or the departure of guitarist Joey Alves. Anyways, if you are looking for classic a**-kicking Y&T, start with Earthshaker or In Rock We Trust. This one is recommended for die-hard fans only.

Typical American metal from 1990.......2003-10-17

Y&T's "Ten" is not a great album, except for the song "Don't be afraid of the dark". Most of the time it sounds like you expect it to sound -bare in mind that this album was released back in 1990. There's a certain amount of a "Whooa whoa-feeling" comparable to bands like Warrant and their cheer leader rock. Although I think Y&T have released a couple of masterpieces ("Black tiger" and "Mean streak"), I have never considered Dave Meniketti to be a great singer. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that Meniketti often sounds strained and at times you might wonder if this guy is taking a dump while he's singing. Dedicated fans of Y&T will of course disagree and that's alright because we all have the right to our own opinion.

Satisfying and energetic........2000-09-28

Ten is an energetic, solid, and melodic meat-and-potatoes hard rock album from Y&T. I find it to be just as good as their previous release Contagious. I've had this disc in my collection for several years. It's still cool and fun to listen to from time to time. The musicianship, songwriting, and production are tight and satisfying. There is a total of twelve tracks on the album. All of them are listenable. Dave Meniketti does an effective job with the vocals. The guitar work throughout is also lively and good. Some of the tunes that I like are "Surrender," "Let It Out," and "Don't Be Afraid of the Dark." Worth a listen.

4 1/2 Stars - Good, Often Great, Melodic Metal.......2000-06-04

TEN followed up Y&T's near breakout album CONTAGIOUS with a commercial THUD! But, WAIT! THIS IS A VERY GOOD ALBUM! What happened? Most likely Geffen lost faith in the band's ability to sell, so TEN was shipped out with little fanfare or promotion. That's a shame, because this album is one of the strongest of their career, and had a potential hit in "Ten Lovers" (if they had released it in edited form as a single). "Hard Times" is the last of the Y&T signature songs ("25 Hours A Day," "Forever," "Mean Streak," etc.) and lyrically seems to concede that they had their shot, but just couldn't hit the target. The album is filled with gems; "City," "Goin' Off The Deep End," "Surrender," "She's Gone," etc, but it also has a few songs that have a more generic feel to them. Still, TEN is a Very strong album, and stands as one of Y&T's finest moments. They followed up TEN with a "farewell" tour and subsequent live album (YESTERDAY AND TODAY LIVE - a GREAT live album!), and years later with a "reunion" resulting in two strong albums, MUSICALLY INCORRECT and ENDANGERED SPECIES. But in 1990 the loyal Y&T fans were ecstatic about TEN, an album stylistaclly somewhere between MEAN STREAK and CONTAGIOUS. -(if you like this one, check out Tesla's GREAT RADIO CONTROVERSY and BUST A NUT CD's, and RATT's self-titled 1999 CD.)
