4.0 out of 5 stars TANGLED IN THE WEB, July 11, 2001

By

This review is from: Lynch Mob (Audio CD)

After a small personnel shift by bringing Robert Mason in on vocals Lynch Mob delivered a fine follow up to their debut album 'Wicked Sensation'. This time boasting more than twiddly guitar bits and big choruses 'Lynch Mob' has fabulously lush songs which are complemented by Lynch's most tasteful guitar work to date. This CD has sympathetic production from Keith Olsen (who I believe did a lot of albums with Journey) allowing everybody to shine through the mix with out making the band sound airbrushed. This CD can still rock but just not at the expense of light and shade something missing on the band's previous release. Robert Mason has much more depth and feel in his vocals than his predecessor, take for example 'Dream Until Tomorrow' which is awesome in his delivery and capped off superbly by the most unique guitar work you'll here this side of forever. 'Cold Is The Heart' is another masterpiece of atmospheric delights, almost Eastern in delivery and featuring a very catchy chorus to boot. There is a cover of Queen's 'Tie Your Mother Down' on offer here which is okay, but just a little disappointing in its inclusion considering the strength of the band's own material here. 'Heaven is Waiting' is perhaps the most Dokken sounding track here being class eighties rock with interesting key changes and an upbeat tempo. 'I Want It' and 'No Good' are both hard rockers, in my opinion a little too hard edged for a band that obviously has so much more to say musically speaking. The excellent 'When Darkness Calls' is a titanic epic so sexy you'll need a cigarette afterwards guaranteed. The closer of 'The Secret' deals with child abuse and is, despite the somber lyrical content, the true highlight of this release. The song is very Ozzy Osbourne like in delivery and shows a depth of thought that many people believe can't be demonstrated by this kind of band. In fact the perception that this CD would be an eighties style party, chicks, booze and drugs affair probably did it the most harm at a time when the dreaded grunge movement was in firm control of the record buying public's attention. A shame really as Lynch Mob did stay true to their audience. 'Lynch Mob' gave us the benefit of class rock tunes rather than delivering a dishonest grunge set like so many other struggling artists washed up after the eighties excess did around this time. I hear the band has reformed, lets hope they can continue the fine tradition started here!

4.0 out of 5 stars Dokken minus Don Dokken? nope... this is Better!, January 14, 2004

Granted, Don Dokken has/had his good points. But by the time this CD (and band, for that matter) hit the scene, Dokken as a force in the music industry was well on its way to the "bargain bin". A shame, really. BUT, this unpretenteous CD by guitar wizard George Lynch (without whom Dokken would still be in basement bars in Germany) and company is a well crafted collection of rock tunes that will floor you! Too bad it came at a time when true rock n roll (well-crafted arrangements, killing guitar solos, and singers who can sing in key and not just grunt and scream) was giving into talentless grunge acts. This disc is true George Lynch and what Dokken may have sounded like under better circumstances. The best track is the ballad "Dream Until Tomorrow", featuring both a creative and haunting solo, as well as a cover of Queen's "Tie Your Mother Down". A song that makes one realize how limiting Dokken was for Lynch is "I Want It", with Lynch's signature runs all over a great rock beat! Well worth buying for any true rock fan

5.0 out of 5 stars An 80's guitar legend, Lynch is truely amazing here!, July 14, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Lynch Mob (Audio CD)

It takes a few listens through to get the full effect. George and the boys are absolutely slammin each track. At times I felt that Oni Logan could have done a better job on a few tracks but, Mason can rip it up pretty good. Excellent production, as always, let's a huge wall of sound come through. To get the complete effect, listen with a great pair of headphones and give the volume the gas. Lynch is amazing!
