Editorial Review: Amazon.com: Singer Don Dokken says he set out to prove something with Dokken’s tenth studio album, Lightening Strikes Again. Taking its title from a track on the band’s platinum 1985 classic Under Lock & Key, the new songs bring the group’s sound full circle. "It’s time that a band from our era did something special and proved that our brand of music is still valid," he says. "Our goal was to create an album that was our best since our heyday." Dokken returns to the band’s roots for its Rhino debut, Lightening Strikes Again. Mixed by Wyn Davis (Dio, Great White), the album features Don Dokken (vocals), Mick Brown (drums), Jon Levin(guitar), and Barry Sparks (bass). Lightening Strikes Again contains 12 tracks, including the breakout songs, "Standing On The Outside," "Oasis," and "Heart To Stone." The album captures the signature mix of barbed-wire riffs and razor-sharp melodies that made Dokken one of the most dominant creative and commercial forces in the world of melodic hard rock. Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating:  - George? George who? You mean John?Awsome album hands down. I really thought I was listening to George play and not John levin. Way sweet follow up to "Hell To Pay." This album actually reminds of "Dysfunctional," which was a more mature sounding Dokken but it still kept the flavor of the old school. "Lightning Stikes Again" should have been the follow up to "Dysfunctional." By far best album since then, it only took them about ten years but it finally paid off. Rating: - Lightning Strikes AgainThis album is Dokken's best since Back for the Attack! I was thrilled to see them go back to the style they are best at. "This Fire" I thought was one of the best songs Dokken has ever wrote, it was an excellent song to cap off a great new album. I recommend this CD to any hard rock fan. Rating: - Great Comeback Again With "Lightning Strikes Again"As awesome, smooth, and brilliant as "Hell To Pay", Dokken's comeback album from 2004, is; their "Lightning Strikes Again" is a really great follow-up to it. The music is still smooth and brilliant so many clever guitar riffs, catchy drum tempos, great bass work, as well as Don Dokken's smooth melodic vocals. Even with George Lynch being long gone from the band, the guitar riffs and solos are still a very big important factor in making each song as awesome and unique as possible. John Levin proves once again to be a very worthy replacement. The rest of the line-up for this album contain Barry Sparks on bass and Mick Brown on drums. This album tells a very basic but very touching story about a long running relationship that was ...

For the fans-this is exactly what we've been waiting for. This may be Dokken's best album ever-in terms of songwriting, lyrics, inspired arrangements and quality production. As far as band member performance, John Levin has that classic George Lynch sound down perfect, but enough of his own style to make it interesting. Having Mick Brown still on the drums as tight and punchy as ever is great to hear, he's an excellent drummer. Barry Sparks on the bass has got the perfect style, unobtrusive and solid. Some reviews have made negative comments about Don Dokken's voice on this cd...for me, his vocals are awesome. Yes, it's true ... Read More: Rating:  - The True Missing Ingredient is...Jeff Pilson. That's right. Not George Lynch. Jeff Pilson. And this is coming from a Lynch fan of over 20 years. Let me explain: Back for the Attack was a great record. It didn't have the stylistic range of Under Lock and Key (really soft ballads to fast metal anthems and everything in between), but it contained great songs and even better performances by Don and George. Even though Jeff's name is all over the songwriting credits and his background vocals are great, I never realized HOW much he was bringing to the table. Then the band broke up. Jeff went his own way, George formed Lynch Mob and Don put out a solo record. Don's record (Up From the Ashes) was as much a Dokken record as any before it... except ... Read More: |
