Michael Monroe, the bands enigmatic front man comments of the new CD "The new Hanoi Rocks album redefines the Hanoi sound in this day and age in the best possible way.

4.0 out of 5 stars Well worth buying, October 9, 2007

By	Dominic Best (Ireland) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The "new" version of Hanoi Rocks are back with an excellent new album after the disappointing 2005 album Another Hostile Takeover.Street Poetry is defintely Michael Monroe and Andy McCoy's best offering so far since reforming back in 2003 and is alot more consistent in content.Hardly a weak song (if any) on this.Best tracks include Street Poetry,Fashion,Power of Persuasion,Teenage Revolution and Walking Away.This ones for Rock n Roll will have you tapping your foot along to it and the album ends with a very good instrumental Fumblefoot and Bumblebee.If your an old fan like myself or new to Hanoi's music - this will defintely not disappoint !

5.0 out of 5 stars For Rock And Roll, August 19, 2008

By	Steven Swan (Illinois) - See all my reviews

Another fine rock album from the lengendary Hanoi Rocks sums it up best perhaps. All the tracks are worthwhile really, to me not a standout song on here that would overshadow any others; just a good group of hard rock that is Hanoi Rocks in 2007, 2008 (and still going).

Starts out with a great rocker in "Hypermobile", then the title cut, which has a nice story in the booklet of a "Street Poet" that frequented the streets of London many years ago. The song called "Fashion" is not the Bowie song btw....though it may be about him.

"Highwired", and "Worth Your Weight In Gold" are favs along with "For Rock and Roll" along with my other fav "Transcendental Groove". These songs may be the closest thing to what might be considered single worthy maybe, but Hanoi Rocks is more about the album as a whole, rather than a song or 2 surrounded by filler.

It's amazing the body of work that has gone virtually unnoticed by Monroe and McCoy, both solo and with HR; and to me at times Monroe's solo work has been equally or even greater at times than the last couple Hanoi Rocks albums, but the gap is closer now I think, and at times it all blends together so well. I hope they just continue on, and this album shows them at no signs of slowing down.
