Drunk on April Wine.......2006-11-10

Harder...Faster; what I want to say would only get censored so lets just say that I knew a most beautiful blonde in highschool that loved April Wine (oh, the memories)...use your imagination but get this CD!

Two Words!!.......2006-08-09

Their best!!

That's the only way to describe it. It was just one record before the Nature Of The Beast release that brought them world wide recognition, however Harder Faster was the one that really got the ball rolling as it is indeed a very good release from a very good band.

Great example of pre-hair band rocking.......2006-01-27

Late 70's early 80's was a great time in rock music. Punk had come along with bands like the Ramones and the Clash, Metal had taken hold with bands like Iron Maiden, Def Leppard, Judas Priest. This was the first I had heard of April Wine, and I think I bought it for the cover, as the car looks like the 75 Dodge Duster I used to drive. I was very pleasantly surprised when I put this on the turntable and it rocked!! I Like To Rock, Tonight, 21st Century Schizoid Man, all made this a great album that we played over and over during the summer of 1980. I recently thought about this band again after seeing Frank Marino play in October of 2005, (he is still rocking out like nobody's business), and picked up this CD. It sounded as great as the first time I remember hearing it at age 17, fresh, slightly raw, great guitar work, catchy hooks. Album is somewhat short, as was common at the time, a little over 30 minutes, but not a dull one.

Best overall cd.......2005-12-23

From start to finish this is the best overall cd given the song quality, this release has a real edge to it. I dig Brian's vocals. This is not as polished as later releases from the band

Excellent hard rock from an underrated band.......2005-07-23

This is a great hard rock record from a band that never got popular in the states for some reason. Harder Faster is filled with excellent guitar riffs and even better solos. I think this is April Wine's best overall work, not a bad song on the CD. The pace of the songs generally matches the CD's title also. "I Like to Rock" is the one song everyone remembers from Harder Faster and it ends with a great amped up cover of King Crimson's complex "21st Century Schizoid Man". If your a fan of 70s hard rock and aren't familiar with April Wine this is the one to start with.
