Customer Ratings & Reviews

I read through my previous input for this release, and thought it may have been a bit harsh. I guess my expectations were a bit too high (like the first time I heard Queensryche' "Empire CD" thinking it was way too mellow, after Operation Mindcrime had set the standard for me) Hey I'm big enough to say when I'm wrong. SORRY GUYS! This group of songs have really grown on this longtime fan. I wish there was a couple of songs that hooked me upon first hearing them like so many other Dokken songs(because you need those to hook new fans), but there is no doubt that this effort should be welcomed by all Dokken fans even if it takes a few more times for it all to sink in(CD player playing on repeat overnight while working). So I get it now, and I'm enjoying it much more. My Favorites right now... 1.Heart To Stone, 2.Oasis, 3.Judgment Day, 4.Standing on the Outside, 5.Point of No Return, 6.Give me a Reason, 7.I Remember, 8.This Fire My producer inputs (0_0)...On Heart of Stone....Lyrics are "you turned "A" heart to stone"...should have been sung "you turned "THIS" heart to stone" just sounds better...should sing it that way on the road Don. :) So Fellas, add Bloomington, IL on the schedule and see ya there! "It's good to be Rocking with Dokken once again! Cheers! Tungusgrump!

Don & Co. have come back in a great way. Post Lynch & Pilson crew have the ummph needed to bring straight-ahead Rock N Roll into the new millennium. Don's vocals haven't diminished a bit, and this is no 80s tribute band...these guys can bring it!! The few, slower ballads do tend to break the energy of this release, but "Standing on the Outside", Heart to Stone", and "This Fire" more than make-up for this. Highly recommend for those who just wanna rock!
