This LP Rocks, from the first song ’till the last it’s good, kinda hard to find. It’s worth it though
This is a very good glam hard rock album. I bought the big vinyl and I really loved it. You can’t go wrong with anthems like Lonely nights and Like I want. They can remind you of Britny Fox (“Bite down hard” era). SENSATIONAL.
I still find myself really digging this album. The first track is a killer opener – done as good as they could have done, ‘Love games’ is great commercial hard rock, as is ‘Lonely nights’ and ‘Stand by me’ – both melodic gems and I believe I also quite liked ‘Why’. Overall, the rest is pretty cool. Good stuff and some genuine killer tracks!
This is just a very very good album with great songs. Pure melodic US hard rock even if the band came from Germany. I have it on vinyl. MELODIC HARD ROCK WITH BALLS AND ATTITUDE (very important in the 80s of course). The band’s sound is like a combination of Helix and Europe which is an interesting but cool mix.
Great band. I like it a lot. Melodic and enjoyable. Feel good glam rock.
Excellent melodic glam metal, stunning production, good vocals and ideas…really a good disc!8.5/10.
I won’t really call this glam rock 😉 , its just straight feel-good late 80’s melodic hard rock with good vocals… 9/10
One of my top 10 favorites albums of all time great vocals
Awesome, excellent 11/10 The singer has a unique, cool voice. Sharp and a touch of roughness!
If you like late 80’s – early 90’s German melodic bands such as Pink Cream 69,Vice,Fair Warning and Casanova, it’s worth while owning a copy in your collection.
Pretty good late 80’s glam rock. Pretty solid all the way around and pretty good production. Tracks 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8 stand out for me. With “Love Games” being my favorite; Love Games, it’s only gonna bring you down, only gonna make ya lonely” – so true. They have some nice catchy hard rock with some keys but this one is mainly just straight forward hard rock with balls.
This is one of the best Hard rock Albums i´ve ever heard…. this Album and Band will be always in my Memories and Rock heart!!!
whenever German bands crossed the Atlantic ,the result was pretty good! VAMP is no exception and with the help of Tony Platt they release some straight hard rock music with huge riffs and anthemic direction. “heart break, heartache”, “the rich don t rock” and “renegade” are the highlights
German band that wanted to sound L.A a hundred percent. “All Nite”(rocks!),”Lonely Nights”(the AORish one) & “Talk Is Cheap”(rocks!)…enjoyable is the least you can say about this record….85/100
Everything about this band was exceptional. This was arena-worthy material as were their Demos (both as ROXX & VAMP). Dicki Fliszar left the band to tour with Bruce Dicknson in 1990 which caused them to play with Shawn Szoke while they were in the States. Every song here had big choruses, catchy hooks, & stellar vocals in the realms of BONFIRE, QUIET RIOT, AUTOGRAPH, ICON, & HELIX. Their label (Atlantic) wanted to steer them in a heavier direction. You can’t ask for any more than this in the Hair Metal world.
