5.0 out of 5 stars BUY THIS BAD ALBUM NOW, April 29, 2004

By 

Cave Eyes "Cave Eyes" - See all my reviews

This review is from: Wild Cat (Audio CD)

Too many Amazon reviewers give mediocre albums a full five star rating, which is annoying (and inaccurate) most of the time. Five stars should be reserved for albums that are perfect through and through. But as much as I hate reading rave reviews of bad albums, I'm going to have to join the rest of the 5-star crowd when it comes to "Wild Cat."

Simply put, this is a mediocre album by a band with a terrible singer (Jess Cox) and, yet, it's one of the best things I've ever heard in my life. The early Tygers of Pan Tang had the perfect mix of rough vocals, garage-worthy riffs, and silly lyrics that made this THE classic NWOBHM album of the early 80s. Sadly, this is the only album recorded by the classic lineup and the Tygers never sounded this raw [or good] again. The now-out-of-print CD re-issue added a ton of welcome bonus tracks that rabid fans of the Jess Cox years can sink their teeth into. In summary: If you can find it, buy it.

4.0 out of 5 stars I wish the rest of 80's hard rock was this good..., April 25, 2002

With raw raucous vocals, energetic riffing, great wah solos and and a crisp. tight rythmn section, this record reflected the best qualities of the NWOBHM. Much like the similarly straght ahead rock of Riot's "Fire Down Under", this album proved that 80's hard rock did not need to be overblown and cheesy. It is their only studio album featuring the unique raspy vocals of Jess Cox. I highly recomend it. I convinced Metallica nicked at least a few riffs off of this.
