5.0 out of 5 stars They Did It Again!, July 29, 2003

Enuff Z'Nuff haven't released a single album that's been worthy of less than five stars and that's quite a feat for a band with eleven albums! Their latest release, "Welcome To Blue Island" is no exception. "Z Overture" explodes into "Saturday" which has been stuck in my head for months now and that's not a bad thing! "Sanibel Island" is equally catchy. This album has been in constant rotation on my car c.d. player this summer for the various road trips that I've been taking as it is THE definitive summer C.D. There's not a throw away track on it! "Welcome To Blue Island" signals a return to EZN's harder rocking stuff. Don't get me wrong, their mellower stuff is equally brilliant. Guitarist, Johnny Monaco unleashes some savage shreds on this new release.
EZN have been touring this summer, but without vocalist Donnie Vie who is living in Los Angeles and persuing a solo career. I saw EZN live in support of their "TEN" album a couple of years back and I can't imagine them without Donnie. In my opinion, he has one of the most definitive voices in rock n' roll.
In any event, "Welcome To Blue Island" is pure art and perfection and even if you can't see Donnie on tour with the band, he definitely ROCKS the album!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Another Gem, July 4, 2005

I don't know what album the reviewer below me listened to, however, it surely wasn't "Welcome to Blue Island". This album rocks, probably the hardest opening track of an Enuff album. Perfect mix of rockers and power ballads (filled with emotion-see 'Man without a heart').'Can't Wait' is another kick ass tune (rocker). Just get this, pop-metal simply doesn't get any better!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars I hope this thing gets a US release, March 7, 2003

Enuff Z'nuff are so ridiculously overlooked and underrated. You can pick just about any one of their records and find examples of brilliant songwriting. Welcome to Blue Island is no exception. It hasn't been released here in the US yet, but I got my copy from Chip after a show here on the east coast. The first 5 songs are spectacular. Donnie Vie and Chip Znuff are perhaps the best songwriting duo from the 80's, and while so many other 80's bands can't seem to write even ONE good song, Enuff Znuff do it OVER and OVER and OVER again.

Ricky Parent isn't the drummer that Vikki Foxx is (was), but he does have a few cool moments on here, as does Monaco (who handled all vocal duties on tour this go-round and was probably a better singer than Donnie, in my opinion, but I digress......).

If you like the Beatles-type songwriting, you'll dig ANY EZN record, including this one. I'd have to say this is perhaps the best CD I've purchased in the last year. By far.
