4.0 out of 5 stars A MUST for your classic hard rock/metal collection!, September 12, 2005

By	CQ DX (Ohio, USA) - See all my reviews

Krokus was a Swiss hard rock/metal band that not many took too seriously. They weren't as 'low on the metal totem pole' as let's say Warrant or Trixter, but they had their detractors. Which is a crying shame since Krokus had some truly great songs with excellent 'grit your teeth' guitar riffing and song dynamics. Some of those tunes are on 'Metal Rendez-Vous'. I just had to pick this up on CD, since I had this album, and 'rocked out' to it bigtime in the early 80's. 'Tokyo Nights' and 'No Way' are 2 examples of great, nicely structured rock songs with excellent hard rock guitar riffs, and I could have sworn I even heard Sebastian Bach approve of these guys in a dream I had! Which makes Krokus all right by me! Great band, great CD! I only wish the CD was truly remastered.

5.0 out of 5 stars A sophisticated AC/DC from Switzerland !, May 9, 2000

By A Customer

This is definitely their best album. Like I said in the title these guys love AC/DC, but instead of just copying that band they add melody and complexity. Everything has been taken care of: good lyrics, catchy aggressive guitar riffs, (long) melodic solos, ballsy drums and a super vocalist. What more do you want ? The follow-up "Hardware" is their second best, but from then on the "party every day" took over from the "rock'n' roll all night" and they never got back to this level again. Metal Rendez-vous is Hard Rock at its best, so get this into your collection !

5.0 out of 5 stars THEIR BEST ALBUM ( I THINK ), September 25, 2000

By	Rob Raymakers (Weert Netherlands) - See all my reviews

This was my first Krokus album i had ever heard, and the tape stayed in the tape deck for years. What a great album! 10 tracks that will be in your head forever. It's been 20 years ago that i first heard it, and it's still one of my favorite albums of all time.Maybe it's because it's one of my first rock albums that i had, but i still think that this album musically is a great rock album. No difficult guitar riffs and lyrics that you can remember after one time of listening. Just straight Rock 'n Roll!!!!! GREAT!!!!
