I have always been astonished that Thunder never cracked America as their brand of blues rock is absolutely tailored for American audiences. This album is perfect for the likes of myself, as it says on the label “All Killer No Filler”. Thunder have been responsible for writing some of the best melodic rock songs ever, it’s just that they have never managed to write that perfect record and there was always at least one track that didn’t quite cut the mustard for me. So to get a package like this with all the classics spread over a triple album is perfect for me.
From the first single, Dirty Love, to The Thing I Want, this it a stunning selection of songs that I think I am safe in saying that everyone should own one of these. There are so many classics here, but my favourites are The Thing I Want, River Of Pain and I Love You More Than Rock N Roll. Those three alone, if released as singles to American rock radio, should have done it for them. Was it bad management or just plain bad luck? Who knows!
10/10 from The Grooveman.
