4.0 out of 5 stars Good Driving Music, April 29, 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: The 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!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Shing Star in the Dawn of the Metal Age, July 25, 2000
By brian zeik "zeiker" (Somewhere in the US Southeast) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Blitz (Audio CD)
One of the most unsung bands of its time - Krokus was a standout long before metal became mainstreem. 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. Truely 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
By A Customer
This review is from: The Blitz (Audio CD)
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!

5.0 out of 5 stars Very cool
I love this disc; for what it was, Krokus was great. There were killer songs here and Midnight Maniac is one of the best "bonehead riff" songs of all time. Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars A newer Krokus
My second taste of Krokus, they seemed to have toned it back a bit. Doing a cover of "Ballroom Blitz" (a good cover)followed by "Midnight Maniac", it's a good listening album.

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic!
If your looking for classic 80s hardrock look no further than Krokuses "The Blitz" . Strong vocals and great guitar licks throughout this album make it an instant classic.
