Free Music Review: rocks in its own right
Hit: 5 Stars
I had this on vinyl back in the day, but my other DL records were on so much they pretty much eclipsed this one as far as spin time. I just bought it last week again on CD and am really enjoying it. I think it's much better than just a decent debut by an up and coming band, or an interesting look at DL before they hit the sound they would run with. Anyone who heard this at the time it came out would have to have realized this band was going no where but up, up, up.
In fact if this album had gotten the production it deserved DL could have gotten an even earlier launch. As it happened though, hearing just this single debut album made John "Mutt" Lange to realize that DL was a band worth working with. He had produced both Highway to Hell and Back in Black, for AC/DC and had an undeniable role in getting AC/DC to superstardom. I can't think of any other music producer with 2 diamond albums by different bands to their credit, diamond being sales of 10M. With this, you will hear what made up his mind to work with this awesome then hard-rockin' band: a great cohesive sound bursting with talent and a powerful synergy within the band that allowed them to explore some different directions equally impressively.
This is completely different from other DL in ways other reviewers have covered. It is not the glam sound DL wound up with on Pyro, and it's completely--like night and day--different even from High 'N' Dry (with Lange producing), which came out right after this the very next year. But the fact that DL could sound so good in three completely different ways, in three consecutive albums--bang, bang, bang--just speaks to the talent of this band all the more. So get this, put it on, turn it up and treat yourself to the first of those different sounds.
