5.0 out of 5 stars
One of the best hair metal records., May 15, 2005
Okay, so the title track was a little overplayed in its day, but the rest of this album should have put Warrant on top of the world. These songs are well-written, well-produced, and loud as hell. They even flow together almost seamlessly, as great albums tend to. The sound quality of the original is fine, but I'd suggest going for the remastered release. It has a couple of extra (forgettable, mostly) tracks, but it sounds even better still.
There seems to have been some venom directed at "Cherry Pie", maybe because of the brashness of the video, or maybe because it made hair metal just a little too popular. Don't let that put you off; most bands of the day would dream of making such a creative, listenable record. I wouldn't give just anything five stars, but this one still stands out as a classic of its genre, as good today as it was fifteen years ago. Don't hesitate to pick up this gem. Just skip the first track from time to time; you've probably heard it enough!

Lots of Fun, October 31, 2004
"Cherry Pie", Warrant's sophomore album, is lots of fun. All of the songs are good, and the best tracks on this album are "Cherry Pie", "I Saw Red", "Bed of Roses", "Love in Stereo", and especially Warrant's "Ode To Tipper Gore"! That was hillarious, someone out there should play it for her. "Cherry Pie" was first released in 1990, but if you bought the version that was re-issued and re-released in 2004, you will get to hear the bonus tracks on this album: "Game of War" and "The Power". "Cherry Pie" is a very good album, and hopefully Warrant will now record a new album with new lead singer Jaime St. James( the lead singer for the 80's group Black 'n Blue, a great singer and a good guy.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Warrant's sophmore effort "Cherry Pie", October 30, 2004
By 1990 Warrant was ready to release their follow up to their 1989 debut Dirty Rotten Filthy Stinking Rich.Proving Warrant was no fluke Cherry Pie topped the charts, and performed as well on the charts if not better than their previous effort.With the title track they had a steamy video featuring model Bobbi Brown, who would latter become singer Jani Lane's wife,so that bought them a lot of exposure. Besides the popular title track,other highlights include Uncle Tom's Cabin,the lovely ballad I Saw Red, A Bed of Roses,and a cover of Blackfoot's Train Train, as well as Warrant's tribute to Tipper Gore, simply titled Ode to Tipper Gore(about a minute of profanity from live performances dedicated to the woman responsible for the parental advisory labels). Like Dirty Rotten Filthy Stinking Rich, Cherry Pie has been remastered and has new liner notes, as well as two bonus tracks. Also like Dirty Rotten Filthy Stinking Rich, Cherry Pie is an essential album for fans of 80's hair metal. You could always buy The Best of Warrant,but most Warrant albums are strong enough to listen to the whole album.
