5.0 out of 5 stars Simply Amazing !!!!!!, March 22, 2003

I just found out this disc was available in the US and...boy is it worth every penny! First of all, the sound quality is much better than both the debut and Voodoo Highway! This thing was recorded live to tape in the studio and it is raw and crisp (did I mention incredible)! All the songs are well written and the playing is inspiring, some of the tightest music I've ever heard. Ray Gillen never sings better and you can hear almost a sort of soul searching on such cuts as Healer and Lord Knows. There is not a weak cut here, standouts include Healer, Tribal Moon, The River, Dog, Fat Cat and Lord Knows. I've had this dics for almost a month now and it has been cranked almost every day(so far). Ray is at his best, Jake just literally shreds (case closed), Greg Chaisson is one helluva bass player and I really like Jeff Martin's drumming here, the guy has really good timing and he thumps. This is a must for any true rocker, it does cost a bit but it is a must buy!! Hail to Badlands for giving us one last rock masterpiece!!!Thanks Ray....

4.0 out of 5 stars How Much More Raw Can You Get?, June 25, 2000

Thank goodness this album finally got released! This is the "lost" Badlands album, recorded in 1992 before the band split up. Ray Gillen's voice is very powerful, truly one of rock's underrated singers. The rhythm section of Greg Chaisson and Jeff Martin are slammin' and Jake E. Lee retains his guitar-god status. The album is more "unproduced" than their two previous releases, almost to the point of sounding like expensive demos. The overall feel is darker, much like their self-titled debut. The songs are very riff-oriented with no other outside instruments and very few overdubs. Two of these songs were performed by Jake's project Wicked Alliance on their 1994 tour. "Sun Red Sun" and "Walking Attitude" sound alot fuller(and better vocally in case you heard Wicked Alliance 'singer' Mandy Lion!) "The River" was later released on Greg Chaisson's solo album with additional lyrics. "Lord Knows" was played on Badlands first tour but for whatever reason didn't make it on CD until now. The real prize is getting to hear Jake's playing; full of fire,passion, and enough tone to make up for all the albums that didn't have it in the 90's. Since Gillen passed away in 1993, we won't see a Badlands reunion. That's unfortunate, after hearing what they still had in 'em!
