We all know Kingdom come with their high quality zeppelinesque hard rockin' albums. This time Lenny Wolf returns with a more softer and keyboard filled album .However surprise surprise! it is so bloody good that you will definitely keep your mouth shut and find yourself unable to complain about it. Guitars are there supported by the keyboards like the the artillery providing cover to the charging infantry. Wolf's vocals are also in top form and matches with the rest of the sound well.Melodic rock fans will also find this release interesting and should check this album out. A brilliant release from the talented Mr.Wolf

BAD IMAGE is another superb album by Lenny Wolf & Co. This time Lenny incorporates some German friends to help. The sound on some of the tracks is a bit different than previous recordings, almost Egyptian like. Very nice though, just a little out of the ordinary for a heavy rockin' band. After listening to it a few times, you get kind of mesmerized. In a good way, of course. All the musicians sound excellent. My favorites are the bass playing and the drumming, very deep and intense. Lenny's vocals are great as usual. He is without a doubt, one of the best in the business. Try this one out, it's bound to be one you'll keep in your collection and play over, and over, and over! Turn it up and enjoy!

I get ticked off sometimes hearing Kingdom Come
being compared to Led Zeppelin.....I beleive KC deserve so
much more than an immitation label.
KC has survived the 80's and should be applauded for holding true to their sound. All thanks go of course to Lenny Wolf.
Lenny's staple voice and unique rock expression is what I find alluring to my heart and ears.
Kingom Come contributes some of the Greatest Rock Ballads I have ever heard.
"Bad Image" being among the best KC has to offer...(and that isnt saying much either....cause I beleive that Every KC cd stands alone in Greatness).
Every song is great on this Cd.
I recommend "Bad Image" to those who are tetering on whether or not to give Kingdom Come a shot.
Then go to "Hands of Time" after that.
I think by then you will be hooked!

I really thought I loved "Hands Of Time", but this CD just blew it away!! I love the mysterious sound of every song on this CD. I am a huge Hard Rock fan and this CD is at the top of my list

This may take a second hearing, but given time, this album tops "Kingdom Come" and "In Your Face."

I've yet to hear master 7, Aint Cryin for the Moon, and Perpetual, but this is the best rockin Kingdom Come so far for me.

I suppose it is unfair to compare since the songs are different from 'seventeen', Pushing Hard, or 'the wind/just like a wild rose/mean dirty joe'; and, there isn't quite 'what love can be', but, I'd say they're just different. In some ways, they sound like an effort to combine(successfully!) Lenny style songs like 'do you like it' with those Led Zepplin songs. I of course like it!

This is the fourth release from the band that damaged their careers just by sounding too much like Led Zeppelin. When all the controversy was going around about them back then, I couldn't help but think; hey, I like their album! Call me a false metal poseur if you want, but I have liked each of Kingdom Come's releases.

This CD was released in 1993, six years after their debut and all the bad press they got. Calling this album "Bad Image" sums up the band's situation pretty good. When I listened to it the first time, I kinda thought it sounded cheesy, you know, with the synthesizers. I have to admit, though, that the more I listened, the more I realized that each song is very well done. Guitars are not absent either, even though the synthesizers overshadow them. Overall it's a solid release that will grow on you. No song sounds like a Zep. song which shows that they were not just about that.

Lenny wolf has to be the most underrated musician on the planet.
He is such an amazing songwriter. This album is oozing with pure genius. I absolutely love the mystical sound of the entire album. Lenny never dissapoints. NEVER!!!! You will love this album. Get ready to forget about everything! Lenny has a way of bringing out the positive in everyone. The musicianship on this album is incredible. The vocals are top notch once again, and what an amazing drum sound on this album. Buy this and buy every other Kingdom Come album. ONCE AGAIN LENNY IS A GENIUS!!!!!!!!

Like many fans, I was quick to write off Kingdom Come as a Led Zeppelin knockoff when I first heard their self-titled debut album. Still, when I ran across used copies of a pair of their later albums - 1993's Bad Image and 1995's Twilight Cruiser - I decided to give Lenny Wolf and company another try. I'm glad I did, because this band has certainly come a long way since "Get It On" hit the airwaves.

Bad Image is a very impressive melodic hard rock album. Yes, Led Zeppelin is an obvious influence, but Wolf and his bandmates have taken that core sound into interesting new territory. This is a mature-sounding album with plenty of spirit and an almost progressive feel. It's like they were testing to see how atmospheric they could take their sound. I think it worked brilliantly. It's a rare smart, artsy album that still manages to rock.

The end result is that this album helped turn me from an early skeptic to an avowed Kingdom Come fan. If your only memory of Kingdom Come is the "Get It On" single and Zeppelin backlash, do yourself a favor and check out what this band really has to offer. Bad Image should please just about any fan of the late `80s and early `90s melodic hard rock sound.

Edition Notes: Bad Image was reissued by the band in 2005. The new version features digitally remastered sound.
