During an era of largely vacuous L.A. centred party rock, Portland, Oregon s BLACK N BLUE were a beacon in the dark. More heavily influenced by the New Wave Of British Heavy Metal and European hard rock in general than their southern Californian cousins, their demos became hotly traded items in the early eighties, resulting in a world-wide deal with Geffen records and a debut album recorded in Germany with long time Scorpions / Accept associate Dieter Dierks producing

- cure de jouvence
Je possédais le vinyl, il y a fort longtemps et j'ai été heureux de me procurer ce CD qui contient du bon hard-rock, bien supérieur à nombre de productions actuelles. Le chanteur est très bon, les autres musiciens aussi. Le "screamer" a pris le look de Dee Snider mais la musique de ce groupe n'est pas un clone de Twisted Sister. Les titres sont accrocheurs et la qualité sonore est bonne, surtout pour l'époque.( Merci Dieter Dierks!) Bref, un album à découvrir!

fettes Debüt
das debüt der glam-poser-hair-metaller aus den USA ist ein sehr starkes album. rauhe gitarrentöne, und einfach geile songs.sänger jamie st. james ist ein überaus guter sänger und wer tommy thayer bei kiss bemängelt, sollte doch erstmal in diese platte reinhören.nicht ganz so bekannte band, aber wirklich gut.toller heavy metal, tolle songszwar teuer, aber es lohnt sich :)

LA Metalの七不思議では...
何故､発売当時､波に乗り損ねてしまったのか?当時のLA Metal系の中では､MotleyやRATTのような派手さは無いけど曲は良いと思ってたけど...｡今聴いてもやっぱり良い｡

Great mid 80s Hard Rock, no fluff!
Im a big fan of hair metal, thrash/speed metal and American death metal. The biggest problem with hair metal/hard rock in the 80s is as the decade came to a close those bands had way to many ballads and fluff. I commend this album for not having a single ballad on it, just fist pumping riffs, licks and solos. The only reason i didnt give it five stars is because of some cringe worthy lyrics like "rock your socks off"...other than that if you are a fan of Acdc, Judas Priest..early Crue this is a great album with no sacharine love songs to break the pace.

it takes you back in time when music was about having fun and singing along
a must have for anyone that loves the 80's bands, it takes you back in time when music was about having fun and singing along. this is one of their best in my opinion as it's a mix of just plain fun music but also not like every other 80's bands I also have the new one from they and it is great but this one is the better to add to your collection.

Hold on to 18!!
One of the most underrated hair metal bands of the 80's. Forget the teased up hair and the clothes and listen to the music. These guys could really play!
