After eight years since their previous album, and a long break-up in between, Dokken were back with this album. But that is about all that is the same.
Over the period that they had disbanded, the Dokken sound had obviously been forgotten, or they just decided to go in a new direction. Dokken at their peak were once of the finest hair metal bands going around. This album has none of those qualities. It is a slow, more introspective and instrumentally kind of album, that really struggles to get out of first gear.
Perhaps they were going for a more updated sound and image, being in the mid-90's and all. Maybe they just thought this was a good idea. I feel they have made a huge error.
Rating : A really disappointing return from a band that had once been a winner. 1/5.
