This is Lee Aarons best album by far. Starting out with "Powerline" you know right away this album ROCKS, and it doesn't quit until the last notes fade from the final song. Lee has put out many great albums and this is another shining example for other female fronted bands to follow, the music and the vocals are flawless. A must have for anone who enjoys the finer aspects of harder rock music. Don't let the cover fool you, this offering is POWERFUL stuff.

Lee Aaron's 1987 self-titled album was the Canadian Metal Queen's most pop/AOR effort to date. This album includes one of my favorite Lee Aaron songs, "Powerline". If you are a die-hard Lee Aaron fan (like myself), I definately recommend this album. However, if first-time listeners are fans of this album, they may not like Ms. Aaron's other albums which are in the hard rock/heavy metal genre... Hence her early title of Metal Queen. The songs "Number One" & "Eye For An Eye" are the best examples of Lee Aaron's sound on her rock albums. In the new millenium, Lee has changed her sound... If you enjoy this album, please check out her 2004 album "Beautiful Things" distributed by Fusion3.

If you like powerful female vocals you should get to know Lee Aaron. Together with Ann Wilson (Heart), Holly Woods (Toronto), Robin Beck and Karen Lawrence (1994) she's one of the great (and beautiful) women of rock. By the way, why are the two albums by 1994 still not out on CD ?

I've always liked Lee Aaron's music for the most part. Her early years were something special, their was a freshness about it. When she dropped the Metal Queen montra and just became another chick singer this is what she/they came up with. Was it done to try and sell more albums?, who knows, but the result was a fresh new style and listen.

This release gave us a new prospective on what she could do. It's a more relaxed, laid back, straight ahead rock album that really does open new ground for her. However her loyal metal head fans fans didn't get it and the rest of the world didn't either unfortunately.

This is probably her best effort next to Body Rock as it really does have some hidden gems on it.

It's to bad that people such as Lee Aaron get boxed in so to speak. I really believe she could have been so much more if she was given half a chance.
