Not the top 100, but..........2006-09-06

I recently came up with my own list of what I believe are to be the greatest 100 albums in rock history. This one is probably around 101. When I bought this upon it's release in 1999, I couldn't stop listening to it. Rollin' Stoned was a great pick me up tune and the rest of the record just seemed to flow so well together. 2006... It is so hard to write a review of this album. It has great songs, great writing, great singing and great musicianship. I think what I miss on this record that always seems to be a big part of every Great White CD is that big song with the over the top bass line. (Mista Bone on Twice Shy, Hand on the Trigger on Let it Rock or Lady Red Light on Once Bitten) Gone to the dogs could have been that song here, but the band din't pull that off. Silent Night seems like a classic that has poor lyrics.

I would have loved to included this in my top 100 albums of all time, but the few flaw that i brought up made me place it just below that. Now this is a must have for any fan of Great White, but for starters I'd go with Twice Shy, Hooked or Let it Rock

Doesn't make for good listening... at all.......2006-05-31

Great White have always had 3 advantages over their 80s era contemporaries: a continued love of blues-based rock, Micheal Lardie's writing and Jack Russell's voice- one of the strongest, and most underrated in rock.

But with the release of this album, 2 of those 3 are nowhere to be found and Russell's voice can't carry the whole load alone.

The music is bar-room rock-by-numbers and Lardie's usual deft touch has deserted him for cringe-worthy cliche:

"Every now and then I like to pick up the phone/ and make a call down memory lane"

"let the world be still tonight/let the fire be the only light"

There's no sense of irony and just a empty feeling of going through the motions with the entire album. I'm astonished to see its 5 star average and so many fans calling it the band's best work: I can only attribute this to loyalty and sentimentality following the band's troubles of several years past. If you want to hear Great White's best recent work, don't go past "Psycho City" for its balls out rock and several examples of Lardie's best power ballads, or "Great Zeppelin" for Russell's astonising vocals as the band play tribute to Led Zeppelin. But avoid this album at all costs.

A WELL WRITTEN AND INTELLIGENT ROCK ALBUM.......2004-06-08

This Album is a great testimonial to the overall talent,style,and magic that GREAT WHITE brought to rock music fans all over the world. The songs are mature and well written, both musically and lyrically. I don't understand why this excellent album did not receive more support and publicity from the music industry, and from the so-called Rock Radio stations around the world. This is music that will reach into your mind, heart, and soul. I strongly encourage all Great White Fans to purchase this Album, and listen to it with an open mind. As for GREAT WHITE Band Members, I think you should restart the band with the same players that appeared on the "HOOKED" Album. I know that the Rhode Island incident will always haunt you, and cause a lot of self-doubt, but real fans of Rock&Roll music would really like to have you guys back with a new Album! Nobody in their "right mind" really blames the band members for what happened on that ill-fated night. I know that I would eagerly show up for any future "reunion" show that features the band's original players. So when-ever you can "face the day" of playing the music that only GREAT WHITE can deliver, all of your fans will be waiting! Good luck to the band members and all of their family and friends! We who love you will never forget you! If Tony Montana(Bass) and Mark Kendal(guitar) read this---"you can come back baby, 'cause Rock&Roll never forgets"!!!

Just didn't bring me back to the old days........2003-11-07

I have been a huge Great White fan since I saw them live in 1990. When this album came out, I was going through some major withdrawls after the disppointment of Sail Away. I gave it a spin and yea, the opening track was that same old Great White, but the rest of the album let me down. Russell's vocals seemed strained and really showed his age. In my opinion, their last great album was Psycho City. It's a shame they're gone now, but maybe they will reform and play the great old stuff again.

BUY THIS ALBUM, YOU WONT REGRET IT.......2003-03-03

I just wanted to say that I bought this album when it was first released And 3 years later i'm still listening to it. It's not getting old! It's definatly top notch, one of their best. Almost every song rocks. And the ballads are great as well.
If you're a rock fan you won't be disapointed with this one.
