Free Music Notes for Difficult to Cure
Free Music Review: power rock mixed with solid rock pop
Hit: 5 Stars
This album is rock and roll it's just not a harder edge type of hard rock. It's more rock with some heavy pop overtones. And on that level it excels. A band can make different types of rock and roll and do it well. So if you take this on that level and say: "is this great rock and roll of it's type? hard rock with a pop edge?" then yes! and I don't find fault with it all. I do like the earlier rainbow albums alot and they are really well done but they are a different type of hard rock generally. This disc had hit singles and they were all good rock and pop rock songs. The best of them is: "It can't happen here" which is in many ways a classic rock song that was a hit by any standard. The song could be the soundtrack for every disaster movie and real disaster facing mankind since the seventies. because 'were using up the future!" as it points out. Plus we still face possible nuclear war due to rogue states such as Iran although at the time of this ablum we faced the Soviet communist empire and total destruction. This song could fit well on any rainbow cd as far as I am concerned. I like every song on this disc as well; even the poppier ones. And The lead singer can really sing which is another benefit that some of todays hard rock just lacks sadly. So if you like survivor , night ranger and other bands then you will like this one. And although the earlier rainbow stuff is different it's well worth a good listen too as well.Free Music Review: Difficult to Cure ~ Rainbow
Hit: 5 Stars
After Ronnie James Dio left the band, Rainbow started to make more radio-friendly music. When I heard 'Down To Earth' I was very disapointed by Rainbow. The album was so much weaker then the Rainbow albums with Dio. So when this album came out I didn't want to buy it. When I heard that Rainbow had another singer again I was very curious, so I bought the album and I liked it very much. Joe Lynn Turner is a great vocalist, much better then Graham Bonnet.
All the songs are great on this album. It starts off with 'I Surrender', that was a very popular hit and it's a great song. It isn't a rock song, it's a pop song, but that doesn't matter, I also like pop, but when I buy a Rainbow album I expect some rock. Well, the second song (Spotlight Kid) is a great hardrock song! The instrumental part is great! Great guitarsolo and keyboardsolo! The rest of the album is also fantastic. The guitarsolo of 'Midtown Tunnel Vision' is one of the best together with the guitarsolo of 'Spotlight Kid'. The instrumental song 'Difficult To Cure' is a great song to end the album. It is a cover of Beethovens 9th.
So if you like rock music, then you should buy this. It's a great album and surely the best rainbow album with Joe Lynn Turner. Not the best of all Rainbow albums, cause nothing tops the Dio years. So buy this if you like rock! I hope this review was helpful to you...

Hit: 5 Stars
First Rainbow singer was Ronnie James Dio, which is just my favorite singer all time. Then Graham bennot came, an average singer. The songs on 'Down to Earth' are not bad, but I didn't liked his voice so very much. But after all that: 'Difficult to Cure'! I love that album! There are some poppish songs, but I don't mind. I love those songs. Joe Lynn Turner is a very good singer(better then Bennot). The guitar work is also very good. Ritchie Blackmore(best guitarist ever) plays as good as usualy. The keyboardplay is very good too, listen to 'Spotlight Kid' and you know why. My favorite songs on this album are: 'I Surrender', 'Spotlight Kid', 'No Release' and 'Can't Happen here'. the other songs are very good too. Except for 'Vielleicht Das Nachste Mal'. That song is a bit boring, listenable, bit a bit boring. I like the instrumental song 'Difficult to Cure'. That's a cover of beethovens 9th.
Well well, I hope I helped you with my review. I really recommend this album to anyone. If you know rainbow or if you dont know rainbow, it doesn't matter, just buy this album.

I love how people knock this album because it got airplay or its too commercial. Face it, this is the best they ever did. No kings or knights or dragons, give me a break. I really love the Dio years but come on JLT smokes Dio(RIP) in vocal ability. Cant Happen here is fantastic, I surrender is probably their best song(along with Stone cold). I could listen to this diverse album over and over and never tire of it. Give this a chance and it will become your favorite.Free Music Review: Rainbow rocks!

This is my favorite Rainbow album of the Joe Lynn Turner era. It is more pop then the Rainbow with Ronnie James Dio, but is that a bad thing? NO! It ain't a bad thing if the songs are good. And it is still rock music, it ain't just pop. Joe Lynn Turner has a great voice and Ritchie Blackmore is the best guitarist ever. The other bandmembers are great too. SO buy this if you like some good rock music and ignore the one-star review beneath me.
