Free Music Notes for Love and War
Free Music Review: Amazing melodic rock album, now even better!
Hit: 5 Stars
Originally released in 1989, Lillian Axe's sophomore album Love and War was one of the best (and until now, hardest to find) melodic hard rock albums of the 80's. The New Orleans band was worlds better than the average hair metal band, and had a highly melodic sound similar to bands like Hurricane, Winger and Enuff Z'Nuff.
Lillian Axe is one of those bands that can do no wrong. I think their 1988 self-titled debut album is a nearly perfect melodic rock album, but Love and War may be even better. Stevie Blaze and Ron Taylor were a really dynamic songwriting team, and they really shine here. Show a Little Love and Diana are simple, but very well done, singles, and songs like Ghosts of Winter and Letters in the Rain showcase a depth that was way beyond their so-called peers. Blaze also excels here as a guitarist, coming up with some awesome melodic hooks and solos, and of course Ron Taylor's vocals shine as usual.
If you're any kind of 80's rock/metal fan at all, Love and War is a must-have album. It's probably the best overall Lillian Axe album (although they're all pretty incredible), and holds up remarkably well 20 years later.
Oh, and how awesome is that album cover?
NOTE: Metal Mind reissued Love and War in 2008, giving the album a much needed sonic upgrade. There are no bonus tracks on this one, but the digital remastering is very impressive. The reissue comes in a numbered digipack with expanded liner notes, and is limited to 2000 numbered copies. I didn't think it was possible for this album to get any better, but here's the proof!
