This came out in 1999 – or at least that’s when I got it. Here’s what I said about it back then (with some minor editing):
Now here’s a scary concept: The ninth album of vintage ’80s hair metal from a reunited Dokken (except for guitarist George Lynch, replaced by the guy from Winger).
Scarier still: They cover the Three Dog Night hit One, souping it up with head-banging guitars, crotch-grabbing vocals and boogie-rock drums. Scariest of all: It’s not half bad. Same goes for the hard-driving, Deep Purple-tinged title cut and the sleaze-metal of Crazy Mary Goes Round. If they can write a few more tracks like these, ditch the dated power ballads and hang in there until the inevitable ’80s nostalgia craze kicks in, Dokken could make a comeback. Be afraid. Be very afraid.
