5.0 out of 5 stars A GLORIOUS ERA, April 17, 2000

This review is from: Headhunter (Audio CD)

Early to late 80's metal was sucha wonderful time for music. Today it's trashed for big hair and spandex cliches (which is true-after awhile there WAS too many no-talent bands spoiling things, but that happens in every genre), but the music was great and it was FUN-something so sadly missing in today's rock/rap/industrial hybrids. Krokus' Headhunter is an outstanding representation of the era. Great hookfilled songs that have stood the test of time! Put on "Eat The Rich" andI defy anyone not to get into it with gusto! RocK ON! (Picture my hand up giving the devil horn sign.)

4.0 out of 5 stars The Krokus Peak, February 22, 2006

Krokus had released three albums prior to Headhunter, all of which are madly impossible to pick up without having to import them. Luckily I was able to pick up all three at a record store not long ago and I can say that all three of this albums get increasingly better. A sound was being developed. That sound was perfected with Headhunter and it is amazing this band did not become more popular for it. Headhunter is a straight hard rock album with great hooks and no gimmicks. You know what you are getting with Krokus much like with the band that clearly influenced Krokus the greatest, AC/DC. Clearly one of the better hard rock albums of the earl 80's but it remains fact that since there is no great substance, I can not give five stars. There can be great hard rock albums with substance but this is not one of them. This is just a balls out rocker and if that's what you are in the mood for then this is indeed one of the best!

Krokus is, surprisingly, a pretty obscure band that never really got the recognition it deserved. There are many classic metal songs on here such as Headhunter, Screaming in the Night, and Eat the Rich. This album should be known by all people who think they know metal.
