Surprising highlight of the 90!

This is not true for this album:
By chance at that time - shortly after the release - discovered the enthusiasm was swift: Here music is made that rocks hard!

Because:
* Pretty perfect musicians: Tommy Lee, the groove in person. Just the beginning of "Power to the Music" strongly emphasizes what I mean; Nikki Sixx, à point; Mick Mars, although reportedly handicapped by rheumatism-like conditions, which leads plays nicely; above all, perched, newly enthroned and full of motivation, instead Spandexking Vince Neil now John Corabi. In addition to the rhythm guitar (hui, the boy lets boards go!) An institution which teaches fear: pervasive, brutal, at times brutal, yet sensitive, his voice is for me one of the top three that exist in the harder part. Not to compare with the direct competitors and predecessor or successor. Primal scream following falsetto. Printing with full conviction, "Power to the Music", how true.
* Compositions: Very first quality. Not "catchy" (I would rather say schmaltzy), as known by the troops, no high level. Are about "Uncle Jack", "Welcome to the Numb" and "Hammered" paradigmatic hard rock blast, warned "Poison Apple" about to immortal "Use Your Illusion" times of fellow Guns N 'Roses, will turn "Drift Away" a wunderschön- unpretentious ballad represents quality. above average. Special Anspieltips: "Til Death Do Us Part", a Hard Rock Opera of epic proportions, "Misunderstood", as well, and, principally, the grandiose "Smoke the Sky". Incredibly, this title: hard, hurtful, punk, metal, engaging. Listen!
* In addition to the musical qualities of the former Crue scores and lyrically, Corabi / Sixx goodness. Not stupid, but honest. A refreshing rarity in rock sector.
* Last but not least: The combo plays as if it were recorded already for decades one another. Thanks also to the production in this sense.

All in all: top plate.
Unfortunately, you will probably not get to see these troops, Corabi is, so far as appears, probably completely disappeared back into obscurity.

A fate that deserve neither drive nor group. Some old fan you will have alienated with this hard work well; estimates for the discerning rock listeners of early Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath and (early) Guns N 'Roses, this CD but it is certainly not to miss ending gem.

One of the best rock records of the nineties.
