 Whitesnake's First U.S.-Released Studio CD In Over 15 Years Is Great April 24, 2008

GOOD TO BE BAD, Whitesnake's first studio CD to be released in the United States since SLIP OF THE TONGUE (RESTLESS HEART, from 1997, is available here only as an import) is GREAT!!!!! All of the songs are top-notch, with David Coverdale singing like he means it and the twin-guitar tag team of Doug Aldrich and Reb Beach, which played together on the last two live Whitesnake live CDs, are a match made in heaven, both having roots in bands such as Molly Hatchet and the Outlaws, but with Aldrich leaning towards a rockier edge and Beach doing fusion-influenced solos. Many people wondered whether the live lineup should even try to pull it off in the studio, and the answer is YES!!!!!!! This lineup is far better than the one with Steve Vai, who quite frankly never really gelled with the rest of the band, which may be why so many young women get facials in the hopes of not getting asked for dances to SLIP OF THE TONGUE. Overall, this is Whitesnake's best album since SLIDE IT IN, and is a must-own for any fan of hard rock.
Coverdale/Aldrich team have produced one hel# of an album! April 25, 2008

Should to be nominated for Best Hard Rock album of year.
1.Best Years-Great way to start off album.Thundering drum and bass section accompany Aldrich's ferocious rifling groove.One of best of tracks lyrically musically on album.Very cool pre chorus and chorus lyrics/vocals.From all accounts sounds even better live.Awesome song.
2.Can You Hear The Wind Blow-Main riff kind or repeats itself too much on this back to basics mid tempo rocker with 1987ish touch but still a cool track.
3.Call On Me-Higher pitched vocals by Coverdale on this rocker.
4.All I Want All I Need-Is this love style tempo.Back in the day this track would have probably been released as single and been a big hit.Nice track
5.Good To Be Bad-Solid rocker with a ferociously good guitar solo.
6.All For Love-A bit Thin Lizy ala "jailbreak" sounding on Cloverdale's singing delivery style and guitar verse riffs.Slows down about 2/3 of way before solo kicks in.One of the tracks included in their current 2008 live set list.Cool rocking track.
7.Summer Rain-Beautiful acoustic based ballad.Verse,pre chorus and chorus have a great hook to them.Coverdale showcases his clear deeper soulful voice here which I prefer.Very very nicely constructed song that makes you remember the earlier 80-81ish era of whitesnake.Cool slide guitar in between verses.Guitar solo has a bit of a southern rock flair to it.If it got decent airplay on radio would likely be a hit.
8.Lay Down Your Love-Great rocker.Hands down one of best tracks on album if not the best.Cloverdale/Page style grooves riffs but actually better than anything on that album.Coverdale belts out awesome vocals ala Still of Night/Blackdog style and then Doug's infectious guitar riff kicks in.Doug recently said in an interview conducted by Vassil Varbanov of Bulgaria's Tangra Mega Rock that this is one of his 2 favorite tracks of album.Easy to see why.More likely to become a new live fan favorite.killer solo accompanies this great rocker anthem.Classic WS type chorus hook.
9.A Fool In Love Again-Very bluesy short intro by Coverdale and Aldrich then big raw riffs burst out to this midtempo rocker with touch of blues and some soul.Track has grown on me with more listens.Chorus has a cool hook to it.
10.Got What You Need- All I got to say is "Hey up". Straight up fast rocker.Ready to Rock frantic style tempo but not as cool as RTR.
11.Till The End of Time-The other of Aldrich's 2 favorite tracks on album.Very different sounding from rest of album but absolutely beautiful song both musically and lyricly.Great soulful acoustic unplugged track has a bit of southern blues type groove to it.Coverdale really displays his clear soulful voice on this one.Perfect way to end the album.
The Coverdale/Aldrich collaboration has proven to be a great one on this album.Best WS album released since 1987.My personal favorites are Best Years,Lay Down Your Love and Till The End of Time.This is a very all around deep album with the second half having more of a early WS 80-84 musical influence to it.I will definately go check this great lineup of musicians out if they come to perform in the states.If this is the last Whitesnake album ever recorded, then at least Coverdale and the boys went rocking in style.

dave and doug failed to make the whitesnake cd i hoped for. that good old blues rock sound like moody, sykes, deep purple. i've bought it all but don't listen to anything past slip of the tongue. coverdale can sing but the music magic is gone. if it wasn't for the bonus cd i would have tried to get my money back. tim ross

Everyone who has been under a rock now knows who Doug Aldrich is and should never forget the name. Coverdale brings it on this album as well and it's about time Whitesnake took another bite!! Check out everything you can by Mr. Aldrich. He has played in several different bands and had some excellent solo albums.
