4.0 out of 5 stars Good Driving Music, April 28, 2004

This review is from: Blitz (Audio CD)

While it may not be cool anymore to like bands such as Krokus, I still love this record...they weren't the best band ever, but there are really great songs on this album, and it has some absolutely awesome production. High points include "Rock The Nation," "Hot Stuff," "Midnite Maniac," and "Our Love." The only song I hate on this CD is the cover of Sweet's "Ballroom Blitz," which is a lame song no matter who does it. Pop this one in on a warm day, roll down the windows, let your mullet fly and crank it up!

One of the most unsung bands of its time - Krokus was a standout long before metal became mainstream. IMO, Headhunter started it all and the band peaked in 1984 with the Blitz. Long before the hair bands adorned MTV's Headbanger's Ball, these guys pumped out an album that had 9 driving, well-produced, catchy tunes. Vocals flow lock-step with the rhythm, and Fernando's lead guitar and Jeff's percussion are stellar and some of the most underrated of their era. Storace's vocals appear to many as AC/DC wanna-be, though the total Krokus package is beyond comparison. Truly one of the albums that defined the band (pick up Headhunter, Change of Address, and Heart Attack for the others, in that order), The Blitz features Midnight Maniac, Boy's Night Out, Our Love, Ballroom Blitz, and Rock the Nation. -- Damn I miss these Guys...

5.0 out of 5 stars The first tape I ever owned, and still enjoy to this day!, February 28, 2003

A great metal album, these guys and Ratt were 2 bands along with Sammy Hagars solo stuff, that I first listened to back in 1985...so much good metal then...

the opening riff for midnite maniac sets the tone for this album. This is not Fun metal, not dark metal, not progressive metal, it's just a little bit of everything, mostly driving guitars, GREAT RIFFS and pounding drums and bass, and the vocals screech with as much intensity as AC/DC or Cinderella. Download a song or to and check it out, if ya like it then buy it, If you're a fan of metal you have to get this!
