Dokken's Best CD.......2007-01-01

I realize that I am 12 years late in writing a review of this album, but I thought it was worth my review. Dokken has been and always will be my favorite band. Collecting all the albums and listening to them countless times hopefully gives my review some crudentials. I like the overall heaviness of this cd, lots of great grooves,great lyrical hooks, and great melodies. I think what really stands out on this album is Jeff Pilson. This is the first Dokken cd that you can REALLY hear the bass. It was always there in the background on the other albums, but it really stands out on this cd. Also Pilson's backround vocals really shine on this as well. Another thing I like about this album is that they took there songwriting to another direction. Most of Dokken's lyrics are about love and broken love. Think of all their singles/videos and the word "love" is in 80% of them. If you are a casual fan looking to get into Dokken discs, my suggestions would be 1)Dysfunctional 2)Tooth and Nail 3)Hell to Pay and 4)Back for the Attack, I look forward to "Lightning Strikes Again" which should be in 2007. The Lynch/Pilson cd is excellent as well and worth the money.

Great Album!.......2006-07-08

I found this a great album after such a long absence. Like most have said, classic Dokken sound, but a little heavier 90's feel to it. Great CD for any Dokken fan@

Their best '90s album!.......2006-02-18

I have to say that next to 1987's great Back For the Attack, this is my second favorite Dokken album. Easily their best '90s album. I enjoyed every minute of it when I listened to it in 1995. George Lynch's guitar leads are strong and aggressive. They keep a very hard edge on a majority of the songs. Best songs are the ones in the middle. Although they've had some conflicts on member changes and how they wanted the music to sound, Dysfunctional is a perfect album title to describe their music transitions. Please get this album soon!

A SOLID album..........2005-08-10

Some of the negative reviewers of this album need to remember that this album came out in the dark days of grunge. Hats off to Dokken to releasing an album that actually broke from the main stream of those days and ROCKED! It's not Tooth and Nail by any means, but it still rocks pretty hard. Lynch and Dokken-no matter how much you two don't get along with one another, you need be together because together you make some great music. Oh by the way, George Lynch is THE MAN when it comes to playing a six string. Get the man in the Rock and Roll HOF where he deserves to be! Dokken, Lynch, Pilson, and Brown no matter how Dysfunctional they all are need to get back together and turn out some more albums!

Yes, I'm stuck in the 80s.......2005-05-06

Seems as though most people think bands shoudn't stay stuck in the 80s and should reinvent themselves. Gee, let's just all sound like a fifth rate Stone Temple Pilots. Wouldn't you be dissapointed if your favorite restaurant reinvented itself and the food and service became no longer satisfactory? What if our utility companies reinvented themselves and "matured" and only offered you electricity and water for a few hours each day? If you enjoy the typical 90s lyrics about looking in the mirror and not seeing yourself and all of the other run-of-the-mill depressing subjects then buy this cd. Although, there are a couple songs I like here, particularly "Too High To Climb" that kind of have that good old Dokken sound. Certain bands should just stick to what they do best and not try to join the flavor of the year club.
