 Best Since 1986!!! April 24, 2008

With two of the greatest rock cds of the 80's, "Slide It In" & "Whitesnake", Whitesnake established themselves as true rock n' roll contenders among the very best of them. Guitarist John Sykes played Jimmy Page to Coverdale's Robert Plant and them some. The songs on both of those collections very instant classics. It seemed that the band just faded away until their live resurgence in 2004. Armed with not only one of the greatest guitarists around in Doug Aldrich, but two with the addition of the incredible Reb Beach. These guys play off each other like the honed professionals they are. Any fan of either and both will enjoy noticing how well they compliment each other and yet allow their own styles come forth.
This new cd is as good as they get! The playing is tight, riff loaded and Coverdale's voice has never sounded stronger. Yet another classic Whitesnake cd. Though it may not recapture old glory days, the songs written here are true Whitesnake songs. It would make John Sykes proud to know his style is very apparent here as is the tried and true voice of Coverdale. The man is a beast that growls and purrs better than ever.
So, hey, so what if we can't relive the old days? With a cd like this, you may not want to look back. One of the strongest comebacks in rock. Worth every red cent and more than enough proof that we all need to see this line-up LIVE in concert!!!

If you think this cd/lp is too loud then your too old,because you can remember when there was a quality to recordings . I got a bad sounding download about 5 weeks ago and couldn't wait to hear a better sounding recording.After doing a A/B/C sound comparision i was very disappointed to
find that the store bought copies were about 1 step ahead in sound quality.The CD/LP recordings are so hot/compressed it's unlistenable.It's no wonder the public & myself stopped buying cd's. I have been burned too many times with digital/vinyl lps. I will now only stick to the good analog/vinyl lps. Enough!

"Good To Be Bad" is one of the better albums in this style that I've heard in a while. I'm not sure what the style is called anymore, when I was a teen (20-years ago), we called it Heavy Metal, but that term seems to be reserved for even harder, heavier music now.
I've owned quite a few Whitesnake albums in the day. I first got into them during the "Slide It In" and "1987/self-titled" era. But I also went back and bought the earlier albums which were lighter and bluesier. I continued with Whitesnake as far as the "Slip Of The Tongue" album which really let me down, so I gave up on them.
I've seen this album get some good press so I decided to check it out. And the good press is true in general. This may not be the best Whitesnake album ever, but it is a quality album that ranks among their top three or four, which is an accomplishment when you consider that Whitesnake has at least eleven other albums that I'm aware of (but I could have missed one or two while I was away).
Stylistically, this album is probably closest to "1987/self-titled". But there are nods to the earlier, more bluesy sounding Whitesnake too. And also nods to David Coverdale's heritage with Deep Purple.
And speaking of Deep Purple, this CD also comes with a second bonus disc of a live Whitesnake concert that is excellent, and contains live versions of some of Coverdale's Deep Purple-era songs, and some of the early Whitesnake classics. It's an excellent single live disc. And when you consider that you get the new album plus the great live disc for $9.97 (basically $5.00 per disc) you realize that this album is really a great bargain.
Also if you like this one, you should consider getting Def Leppard's new one "Songs From The Sparkle Lounge", and Tesla's two new ones "Real to Reel 1" and "Real to Reel 2". It's amazing how many of these old Hair Bands are returning to form with some of their best albums in years, coming out at almost the same time!
This album rocks! May 2, 2008

Whitesnake's new release absolutely rocks. On first listen, I thought there were a couple of good tracks... After having heard it a half dozen times now, I love the entire album. The real highlight of this album is the driven guitar fireworks of Reb Beach and Doug Aldrich. Stand aside John Sykes and Steve Vai, Beach and Aldrich have taken over the reigns in spectacular fashion, outdoing all previous Coverdale-lead efforts. This is a solid piece of work, for me the best album released by ANY band in a long, long time. Oh, and D.C. does his usual vocal gymnastics and pulls out a swag of old tricks - the man is in fine form, and for the most part sounds as good as ever.
