Free Music Review: Hair Metal? Bon Jovi And Poison Can't Hold A Card To Dokken!
Hit: 5 Stars
Tooth And Nail(1984). Dokken's Second Album.
Heavy Metal quartet Dokken was relishing in the success of their debut album 'Breaking The Chains', which, within a year, became their first multi-platinum album. With the help of MTV, the debut album also produced numerous hit singles/videos. For their 1984 follow-up, 'Tooth And Nail', Dokken stick to their guns(or guitars) and used their stylish and catchy Power Metal to once again make a multi-platinum album. Power Ballad 'Alone Again' has turned out to be one of Dokken's biggest hits over the years, and songs like "Just Got Lucky" and "Into The Fire" are some of the best of the genre. Although they had *big* hair and cheesy videos, simply writing off Dokken as a "Hair-Metal" band like Poison or Cinderella is just plain wrong. Dokken's sound is much more Power Metal oriented, like the Scorpions, and their lyrics are thoughtful and don't even breach the subject of partying or drugs. Combine that with George Lynch's insanely superior guitar abilities and Don Dokken's melodic vocals, you've got quite a band here. Although I simply wrote these guys off as a Hair Metal band, after talking to Amazon review Der Kommissar I decided to try these guys out. I was expecting a lot, so were my expectations fulfilled or was I disappointed? Read on to find out!
Track Ratings-
Without Warning- Almost two minutes of pure, unadulterated Lynch guitar madness. Any Questions?
Tooth And Nail- Heavy as hell, "Tooth And Nail" explodes out of your speakers, and Dokken blends a superb balance between the Glam Metal band W.A.S.P. and Speed Metal band Motorhead. Gotta love Lynch here!
Just Got Lucky- A melodic rocker, "Just Got Lucky" is a sugar-sweet monster power ballad you wouldn't be surprised to see the Scorpions doing. Don Dokken's vocals fit the song perfectly, and Lynch's wailing guitar works wonders here. *bangs head to chorus*
Heartless Heart- The closest thing Dokken does to Hair Metal, "Heartless Heart" is a tasty mixture of Twisted Sister and Kiss. Great musicianship abound here, and the fact this didn't become a hit is beyond me!
Don't Close Your Eyes- Whoa! I cranked this one up, and I thought I was listening to Metallica! That soon ended when Don's despaired vocals came into the picture, and the song turns into a melodic rocker with some *heavy!* and sweet riffs from Lynch. Take some valium, you're in for a ride!
When Heaven Comes Down- You'd expect this song to be a ballad right? Well, other than Don's melodic vocals and the slightly soft chorus, you'd be wrong. Lynch's dark riff easily echoes Thrash, and this song bears an interesting resemblance to Megadeth's "Holy Wars....The Punishment Due"(to me). I laugh at 'St. Anger' for good reason, just listen to this and you will too!
Into The Fire- Wow. "Into The Fire" begins with an innocent rhythm guitar like Metallica's "One", but soon erupts into a frenzied assualt on the ears not unlike what you'd come to expect from Thrash bands. What's great about this track is how slower and melodic moments like the intro are repeated many time during the song, which works superbly! 'Tooth And Nail's best track? I wouldn't be too inclined to argue.
Bullets To Spare- Imagine Judas Priest, except without Halford's screaming, and add in a power metal touch such as the Scorpions, not to mention lyrics perfect for Heavy Metal, and you've got yourself a song. Lynch and Don Dokken never sounded better!
Alone Again- One of Dokken's biggest hits, "Alone Again" reminds me of Queensryche's monster power ballad mega-hit "Silent Lucidity", with the breathtaking rhythm guitar and the tear-jerking vocals. If Poison or Bon Jovi's ballad's were even half this good, they might actually appeal to me. Unfortuneatly....
Turn On The Action- Forget the "action", turn up the volume! 'Tooth And Nail's final track easily reminds me of Iron Maiden, except unlike Adrian Smith and Dave Murray, Lynch appears to easily best them with only *ONE* guitar. Take Iron Maiden's 'The Trooper' and Metallica's 'Hit The Lights', and BOOM!, you've got 'Turn On The Action'. A hellavu way to end a sweet album!
Overall, 'Tooth And Nail' does what I expected it to do... dish out heavy, fast, loud, and balls-to-the-wall metal with some killer guitarwork to boot! Like Thrash, Glam, Hair, Power, or just plain Heavy Metal? Well, give Dokken a chance, and you will see that these guys are some of metal's finest.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED TO FANS OF HEAVY METAL, HARD ROCK, AND DOKKEN! THIS ALBUM MAY ONLY BE 40 MINUTES, BUT DON'T WORRY, YOU'LL LOVE EVERY MINUTE OF IT!
Killer Kuts- "Just Got Lucky", "Into The Fire", "Alone Again", and "Turn On The Action".
*laughs at people who claim Dokken is a rehased hair metal band*
