Free Music Notes for Lightning Strikes Again
Free Music Review: Great tunes
Hit: 5 Stars
I thought George Lynch was on this CD. I'd swear it was him, but when I read the liner notes, I was stunned. This guitarist has the infamous Lynch sound. Solid album and the first song starts off with a bang. Any serious Dokken fan is going to be disheartened to lose Lynch BUT hold on folks, this guy has that fantastic sound Dokken fans love. Don Dokken just doesn't put out garbage and rehash tunes... this was fresh stuff and very very good!Free Music Review: Impressed
Hit: 3 Stars
Trying to find every reason to not like this album but just couldnt do it. This sounds like the Dokken of old with a little bit more seasoned songwriting. A worthy return to the musicianship that is sadly missing in todays pop cheese rock bands. Free Music Review: This is good
Hit: 4 Stars
if your into 80s music and love Dokken, ihave to say this is a pretty damngood albumFree Music Review: Lightning Really Does Strike Again
Hit: 5 Stars
I have Been a Long time Dokken fan. Through the good times, and the not so good times. Their past few releases have tried to capture Glory days gone by i.e. From Conception Live '81 and the Definitive collection-Just what we need another Greatest Hits. Don't forget the few years old released Japan Live '95- Well you get the Point. Well "New Dokken " is back with Lightning Strikes Again. 12 Songs that will leave you wanting more, yet Completely Satisfied. Overall As a Dokken fan I give it 5 Stars. Dokken are Back where they should Be. Rockin' like Dokkin'Free Music Review: Like the old Dokken with some exceptions
Hit: 4 Stars
I just downloaded this today from the mp3 store here at amazon.com and I've given it a careful listen. To give you some background, I'm a big fan of the older Dokken material from Tooth and Nail, Under Lock And Key, and Back for the Attack. When the group broke up, I didn't care for the grungy direction the group took and basically stopped listening. Sure, I got Dysfunctional from a used CD bin, but I can only recall listening to it once and not liking it.
I can agree with the other reviews that this is more like the sound the group had with Tooth and Nail. I like the sound of most all of the tracks and a few have some very memorable sounds right off the bat. There are a couple of exceptions though. "Disease" and "Release Me" just seem to miss the mark, in my opinion. As I listened to them I was clearly reminded of the grungy hard rock sound that has plagued the music industry for the last 15 years that I don't like. "This Fire", on the other hand comes across much differently. There's just something much more enjoyable about the guitars, the beat, and even the lyrics in that song. That they appear side by side in the track listing is surprising - to me, they don't belong on the same CD.
Overall, it's good. I'll definitely be listening to it more and, just maybe, those other tracks might grow on me after a while. I hope Dokken continues to refine their style/sound to become one of my most enjoyed artists once again.
