Of the four albums that the band issued in the 80’s, of which this is the 2nd released, this is my favourite. Great songs and some unbelievable guitar playing from Vito Bratta.
Two singles from the album Wait and When The Children Cry were huge (especially on MTV), and they were riding high until the change in the musical landscape did for them as it did for most of the hair bands. This is such a great record I will just mention my favourite tracks (which is nearly all of them 😂).
Hungry is a monster opening tune with a great hook and ripping guitar. Lonely Nights again with a great hook and melody, and incendiary guitar. Lady Of The Valley, which I think is the best track they ever did, has a brilliant intro and some insane guitar. All You Need Is Rock N’ Roll with its monster riff and groove. The vibe is very early Van Halen throughout but with their own twist, which is fine by me. If you only own one White Lion album then it has to be this.
10/10 from The Grooveman.
