I bought this thinking it was a new Badlands CD, as in Jake E. Lee's band of the same name. It's not. Unfortunately, the cover art doesn't show who the band members are until you open the CD. This Badlands has absolutely nothing to do with Jake E. Lee or the other members of Jake's old band. Musically, I couldn't even stomach listening to this. If I had to make some kind of a comparison, I'd say think Greenday without the edge. Perhaps that's not a fair assessment, but I wasn't looking for watered-down punk when I bought this. Jake should sue these guys for stealing his band's name (even if he has no intentions of ever re-forming the REAL Badlands).

I did not even recieve this cd yet and Im already ticked off! I thought this was Jake E. Lee thats just great!! another coster for my bar!!!

I too, made the same mistake thinking this was Jake E. Lee's band. I was in a record store when I found this and thought, "Wow, something new from Jake, maybe some unreleased tunes." I was greatly disappointed.

I'd give it a zero rating if there was such a thing!

I'm as ticked off as other fans of the ORIGINAL JAKE E. LEE BADLANDS fame!!! Did you know there's actually 3 Badlands?!? My coaster is a German band by the same name...expensive frickin' coaster!

The same thing happened to me. I bought this CD, thinking it was Jake's band. Hey, the cover had no pictures of the band members on it. The artwork could pass for a blues rock cover. Heck, Voodoo Highway looked similar. Then when you open it-who the heck are these clowns? Maybe there's no image of the cover available on this website because these clowns are making money on us mistakenly buying their album. Anyway, get "Dusk" or Jake's new one "Retraced" and you'll be feelin as good as a government check again.

NOT JAKE E. LEE!!! This band is weak even for punk! Waist of money! If you are a Jake E lee fan you will NOT like this.

I was listening to Badlands today and decided to re-read the biography of the band on Yahoo Music. When I clicked on the "Albums" link for the group I saw this album listed, among others. I was excited too of the prospect of more music from the Jake Lee group but I was skeptical that they had released any. A quick internet search will tell you that these newer albums have nothing to do with the Lee/Gillen band.

Just because you don't take the time to READ WHAT YOUR ARE BUYING does not mean it's the album or artist's fault.

yes this is not a record by a washed up metal head doing blues named.... this is the Badlands from Holland. The guys revies above is correct this is not 'greenday'. This is street punk not 'watered down punk'. apparently he thinks 'watered down punk' is punk devoid of green days lameness.

This is a good album. In the vein of beltones, higher production w/ *gasp* good vocals. Hearing a singer w/ vocal ability in this genre takes some getting used to, but I think I may like it. Check it out.

This is easily one of the best skinhead/streetpunk bands I've heard, compares to Social Distortion and dare I say Skrewdriver!
Fans of The Beltones,The Forgotten pick this up, some acoustic tracks,but it's all good. Oh and this is the real Badlands, not some CHEESY 80's hairball band!
