Rocket Fuel
From start to finish, each song has strong momentum, including the by-now-classic-and-cliche'-to-some, "Sister Christian". If you're even just a smidge of a Night Ranger fan, you'll always find some foundation in this album. Jack and team deserve all due credit for this power collection of Night Ranger tracks that, especially to those of us who are true children of the 80's, still gets the heart pumping. . . . Great Job Guys!.


The whole CD is great!
There's not one that I would want to skip to get to the next song. I look at all the song titles from this release and they're all solid tunes. NR is probably one of the most underrated rock bands from the 80's. They're still around and occasionally putting out new music, but the bulk of what they've done and done well is found in their first five albums. Midnight Madness was, of course, their big breakout record, with Rock In America and the smash Sister Christian. Many people didn't bother to scratch beneath the surface of this "power ballad" group to discover that they wrote great songs, with great dual lead vocals, and hot guitar playing. This album, in my opinion, is one of their best, although I think all of them, through Neverland, are great rock albums.


Incredible album, lame CD packaging.
Takes me back to another time every time I put it on. Love this album. Every song is infectious, with the highlights You Can Still Rock in America, Why Does Love Have to Change, Touch of Madness, When You Close Your Eyes. I've always thought the assemblage of talent in Night Ranger (Keagy, Blades, Gillis, Watson, "Fitz" Gerald) was second to none. Only recently replaced my worn out cassette with a CD. However, I was extremely disappointed in MCA's packaging of this Disc. No liner notes, other than the song titles and the producer's name. Would be cool to see a nice re-master package for this disc, as well as Night Ranger's other titles.


Still great
D. Needed to updat fom my 80's cassettes to C. 's. Amazon offered excellent prices and bulk specials. The C. D. 's arrived on time and in wonderful condition. I would use this site again and suggest it to my family and friends.

But there is much more to this CD than that one song. Everyone who listened to rock or watched MTV in the 80s knows the hit balad Sister Christian from this CD. There are no fillers here - every song on it is good. This is one of those few CDs that you can leave on and play all the way through without getting bored.

Night Ranger won me over from the start with the albumn Dawn Patrol. Their balads are catchy, their up-tempo rockers are solid. Versatility is a sign of good musicianship. Tight vocals and great guitar work made them a frontrunner band in the 80's, with a little help from MTV.

This is one of the three best Night Ranger CD's, and definately one to have in your collection.
