5 out of 5 stars BLUES + ROCK + CATCHY SONGS = BIG ALBUM.......2006-02-14

TOGETHER WITH "G", ONE OF THE BEST HARD ROCK/ BLUES ALBUMS OF THESE LAST YEARS. TO ME, IT'S EVEN BETTER THAN THEIR FIRST ALBUM. I DON'T KNOW WHICH IS THE BEST, "G" OR THIS ONE. I CAN ONLY SAY THAT THESE KIND OF 4/4 SONGS ARE THE SONG PEOPLE LIKE. THESE ARE THE SONGS PEOPLE LIKE LISTENING TO WHILE THE RIDE A MOTORCYCLE THROUGH THE ENDLESS DESERT OF ARIZONA OR NEVADA. THESE KIND OF SONGS GIVE ME THE POWER TO SCREAM MY HAPPINESS AND THE POWER THAT I FEEL INSIDE TO THE ENTIRE WORLD. THE FIRST TWO, THE FOURTH , BUT I WOULD SAY, ALL OF THEM, THEY ARE VERY POWERFUL SONGS, JUST LIKE A FIST IN YOUR STOMACH. THESE SONGS HAVE THE POWER OF HARD ROCK AND THE FEELING OF BLUES. IF YOU BUY THIS ALBUM AND YOU DON'T LIKE IT, I REFUND YOU (IT IS A JOKE, EHEHEHE). I CAN BET ANYTHING YOU WILL LIKE THIS HEAVY, TOUGH, HARD, POWERFUL, STRONG ALBUM.
AND, TO THE END OF THE ALBUM, THERE IS THE CLASSIC BALLAD THAT WILL MAKE YOU FINALLY REST. ONE VERY GOOD ALBUM, BECAUSE THEY MIXED THE POWER OF THE HARD ROCK & THE SOUND OF BLUES. WHAT ELSE I CAN SAY ? "I'M YOUR TRAVELIN MAN" IS ONE THE BEST SONG, I WOULD SAY. IF YOU ALREADY HAVE "G", BUY THIS, TOO. BECAUSE IT'S SIMILAR, BUT AT THE SAME TIME DIFFERENT. SONGS SPEAK BY THEMSELVES.

3 out of 5 stars Melodic and groovy.......2004-05-07

The second album from Gotthard is titled "DIAL HARD" (1994) and the band continue in the same direction as the first album but this time it's a bit more polished - still heavy metal though! While Gotthard did a cover of "Hush" the last time, they have now chosen Beatles' "Come together" and they managed to do a great version. The songs on "DIAL HARD" are mainly of high standard even if one could ask for more originality since the material melts together like it did on the debut album. But with songs like the groovy "Mountain mama", the bluesy "I'm your travelin' man", and the strutting "Dirty devil rock", Gotthard really shine from time to time.

I have been a Gotthard fan for awhile. Had one of their other CD's for about 3 years and listened to it quite a bit. Got this one in the "reduced" import section of one of the local record shops I visit. Killer all the way around. Great drum sound, excellent vocal performance, classic Gibson / Marshall guitar sound. Song arranging and guitar solos are also excellent. I play locally here in a hard rock trio and plan on using this CD as a platform for it's structure. The only downer is the 2 live tracks at the end of the CD. Poor sound compared to the rest of the CD. Steve does do a mean Robert Plant though. If you have heard of this band and are a fan, this is a "must have" from these guys.

5 out of 5 stars Gotthard at their best.......2000-06-18

This is probably Gotthard's heaviest album. The production is better than e.g. on "G" and makes the whole thing sound a little less raw than the previous albums. Don't get me wrong, I like the old stuff, too ("Hush" is a killer), but "Dial Hard" is even better. It also feature the obligatory cover version, this time it's "Come together". Favorite songs: "She goes down" - cool heavy guitar riff; "I'm on my way" - nice ballad; "Come together" - slightly harder than the original *grin*. There are no fillers on the album, every single song is worth your money.
