One guitar lick hooked me for good...
As far as "metal" guitar duos, I always thought Gillis and Watson could stand up to anyone. Just listen to the blazing speed from about 2 minutes on in the "Can't Find Me A Thrill" guitar solo! I never get sick of hearing it. So melodic. . . .


80's Night Ranger is good but outdated by 2009 standards
The problem only lies in listening to it now. I like this album alot as I grew up listening to it. Some songs are just too overdosed with synths and keyboards. The worst offender is "At night she sleeps". The keys on that song are laughable. "Sing me Away is my favorite track. When you listen to "Hole in the Sun", the songs are much more up to date while still sounding like Night Ranger.

Classic 80's Hard Rock
I only wish music today was this good. I first heard this album when I was 10 years old, and I'm still enjoying it today, 24 years later.


Still on my play list after all these years.

IT ROCKS!!!. This is the album that started off Night Ranger's very long and rocky career, I love all of their CD's but this first one will always hold a special place in my heart.

Musically the album, like you would expect from such a talented band, is very good. I dusted this effort off recently while transferring a wealth of vinyl to digital. With a couple guitarslingers like Jeff Watson and the underrated Brad Gillis you expect a lot. The songs are hit and miss though. At times the band shows uncanny pop sensibility with songs such as "Don't Tell You Love Me" and "Young Girl in Love" and at other times can't seem to find a good melody such as "Play Rough" "Eddie's comin' out Tonight". Knowing the two heavyweights playing guitar makes one expect more from the band, but alas, they could never deliver a solid front to back album. I find it interesting to look back at videos from this era a see that "Fitz" Gerald and the keyboardist from Prince's "1999" era band band both mined the surgeon-in-scrubs look. LOL. The album is worth picking up though, just to get the epic "Don't Tell Me. . . " a rocker for the ages. This alone gets it an extra star.
