5.0 out of 5 stars Underappreciated Excellence, January 4, 2005

With this 4th release, "Bonzo the 2nd" has achieved and surpassed the musicianship and originality of his father's "band" (what was their name?..). This under-appreciated (and under-marketed) gem picks up where Zep was forced to leave off and takes us to a new sparkling evolution of the genre. Looking forward to the next metamorphosis of the "Bonham" sound--just as Zep evolved with each new release. But...where has Jason gone? I hope record company marketing blunders and uninformed reviewers have not soured him away from sharing his muse with us again. This disc holds court with any and all my "Classic Rock" mainstays.

5.0 out of 5 stars LED ZEPPELIN LIVES!, December 12, 1999

AWW, what a fabulous cd. This sounds like it could pass as the greatest "undiscovered" Led Zeppelin album ever. Not to say it's unoriginal, the album comes blasting like a cool, fresh breath of air in a world dominated by wannabe rockers. Greta, monsterous riffs, courtesy of newcomer Tony Catania, are all over, powerful vocalist Charles West, also new, wailes away(sounding a bit like Robert Plant, but not trying to be), and ex-Bonham bassist John Smithson returns to help out drummer Jason Bonham fuel the music with charisma and energy. Every song has that Zeppelin-esque feel to it, and it should. Jason Bonham does a no-brainer showing who his major influence is. Anyone who wants probably the best hard-rockin' album of 1997, and want to hear what great music is all about pick this one up. It is far more superior than the last Page/Plant garbage, and John Bonham helps his son out by coming out of the grave to play drums on two tracks, that's right, John Bonham is on this. "Can't Go On", and, "Out on the Prey", are those tracks. Enjoy!

5.0 out of 5 stars excellent effort. keep up the good work boys!, June 19, 1999

This is a great album that will certainly take you back to the days of Zeppelin, but has its very own 90's hard rock style. This is a very under-rated album deserving of more record sales and critical aclaim. Tony Cantana's guitar playing is uncanny and rocks the house. Jason Boham will make his daddy proud with this effort. Lead singer, Charles West sings with a passion and love for the music that is all but missing in today's world of rock. "Ordinary Black and White" is poppy, but great to listen to and very meaningful. "Ki the World Goodbye" is a real treat for any zep fan. The entire album is consistent and rocks hard, but never lacks maturity and effort. These guys are great arm wrestlers too! DO NOT CHALLENGE THEM BACK STAGE! YOU WILL LOSE!
