 Excellent New Material May 23, 2008

WHITESNAKE'S Good To Be Bad includes some of their best new material in quite a while, of course American release of new material has been somewhat sparse of late. Coverdale and the current lineup featuring the guitar duo of Doug Aldrich and Reb Beach are solid, slick, and polished. The songs are tight and include all of the classic "Snake" influences of hard rock, blues, ballads, and all in between. Very good lyrics, melodies, and musicianship throughout, whether it be the hard rockers or ballads. I am a Whitesnake fan and have been for quite a while and admit to some bias, but I highly recommend this CD for anyone who loves great heavy duty rock played in a very polished and professional way, yet still fun and exciting to listen to. Keep it up guys.

The more you listen the greater this album gets. Rock will never die if we always have the TRUE musicians like David Coverdale and his band. Five stars are not enough for rating this masterpiece. Forget all computer-driven so-called rock bands and buy this CD as soon as you can!

A much needed shot in the arm for classic rock!! I've been anticipating this for awhile. I was looking for another Still of the Night, didn't find it, but it didn't matter. This is classic Whitesnake. David still has great pipes and Doug Aldrich and Reb Beach were born to be Whitesnake guitarists. Their concert dvd in London is incredible! I highly recommend this cd.

After seeing the band live four short years ago, I wasn't sure what kind of new material Coverdale and the gang could produce. The live performance put me off, mostly because of DC's strained, screechy vocals.
It must have been an off night.
This album rocks. I mean really, it does. If you are a fan of 1987's "Whitesnake", this will take you right back there. It's not modern sounding at all, and that is brilliance of it. There are actually places on there where you could swear John Sykes is still with the band. Terrific solos, LOTS of guitar work. See? Some musicians STILL know how to play! How refreshing.
Sit down, Nickleback. You, too, Fall Out Boy. The big boys are back, in a big way!
Whitesnake has never been about deep, intelligent lyrics. The songs are filled with cliche' driven, romantic, "cock" rock. Just bluesy, soulful Zeppelinesque grooves.And what's wrong with that? Feel-good rock is about air-guitar glory and escapism. David's voice has lost some range, but he controls it nicely and handles his vocals with style. Don't worry though, he can still hit the necessary high notes.
Good album. Can't wait until their touring mates Def Leppard hits with SONGS FROM THE SPARKLE LOUNGE next week. They should bring that show to the states!
always a fan April 27, 2008
