5.0 out of 5 stars It's Been Too Long, But it's Worth the Wait, January 15, 2001

Keel is one of those exceptionally talented bands that, unfortunately, burned very brightly in the 80's and then all but disappeared. (Although, Ron Keel does have a new band and album, Fair Game.) This album is actually the result of Gene Simmons cleaning up their first record, Lay Down the Law, which rocked, but really needed professional production. Gene reportedly told Ron Keel outright, "You'll need better songs..." The result was The Right to Rock. Gene also produced the follow-up record, The Final Frontier, which in my opinion, showed the true genius of all involved. Each record was outstanding in its own right. I highly recommend this CD, as well as The Final Frontier, when it's re-released on CD. All subsequent releases (I think there were two, but I only purchased one) are not worth buying. These two albums (Right to Rock / Final Frontier) are spectacular. The others immediately show up the loss of Gene Simmons as producer, and their undesirable classification as 1980's flash-in-the-pan rock.

I have bought this album twice on LP format and the long wait for the CD is now over. This album was produced by Gene Simmons and it has his style stamped all over it. In the eighties he worked with Wendy O Williams (W.O.W) and Black 'n' Blue (2nd & 3rd albums) and along with this album they all have a similar Simmons song writing vein and sound running through them except this album by Keel has the needle going into the red bigtime. The sound is enormous and raw with huge layers of guitar riffs, screeching vocals, huge choruses, big rythmn section and blistering solos. If you like the above albums or Kiss at their heaviest such as Creatures/Lick It Up then you will love this offering. Only four stars though because it is only a little over 30 mins long and the last track is a bit of a filler.
P.S. The last track is a remix of the original on LP, sounds even worse.

Originally released in 1985,'The Right...' was the their second album.Decent under appreciated '80's metal band that never did quite get their due success.This would most likely be considered their best effort,at least by the fans.Key tracks would include the title cut,every true metal head's anthem "The Right To Rock","Back To The City",their Stones cover "Let's Spend The Night Together",the ass-kicking "Speed Demon" and "Get Down".Line-up:Ron Keel-vocals,Marc Ferrari&Brian Jay-guitars,Kenny Chaisson-bass and Dwain Miller-drums.Good to listen on a late Saturday night.
