One of the best girl hard rock groups, The Runaways, made their third album "Waitin' for the Night" after two great albums "Queens of Noise" and "The Runaways". This time there was no Cherie Currie in vocals and no Jackie Fox in bass guitar. Vickie Blue came to fill the hole that was caused by Jackie Fox and Joan Jett & co. started to sing. In fact, this album nearly as good as the other two albums...there's no bad tracks at all but the songs apart from "Don't Go Away" aren't so excellent either. Lita Ford really had taught to play guitar much better. The guitar sounds are much better than in the two first ones. Most of the songs are same kinds of like in the first albums. There's now "Fantasies" which is very heavy and slow and sounds a little bit sad. "Waitin' for the Night" is almost a ballad...only the heavy guitar sound makes it rough and brutal. The best moments offer the songs "Don't Go Away", "Little Sister", and "Gotta Get Out Tonight" if you're looking for upbeat & raw rock songs. "Wait for Me" is maybe the strangest track...it doesn't sound so much The Runaways song...its chorus is peaceful.

Free Music Review: The best Runaways album - best played LOUD
Hit: 4 Stars
It's not that I didn't like Cherie Currie's vocals or Jackie Fox's bass playing... it's just that this album is better written and better produced than the others (just listen to those guitars!!!) and Joan did such a great job of carrying the torch. It all fell apart after this (listen to the disappointing "And Now The Runaways" for proof) but this in my opinion was when the girls hit the bullseye. The contrast between Joan's glam/glitter influenced playing and Lita's Richie Blackmore approach accent eachother perfectly, and Sandy West's rock-solid meat and potatoes drumming is dead-on. I'm just guessing here, but this album came out in 1977, when Punk was hitting big... and I can definitely hear some Sex Pistols in Joan's guitar... which makes sense since a few years later Steve Jones and Paul Cook would back her on a few songs on her debut solo album. All the pieces fit (for the most part) on this album and the remastering on this CD is just awesome! It sounds HUGE and when played at high volume it makes me feel 14 again.
A great album by a criminally overlooked and underrated band.
