I approached this with a fair degree of indifference, partly influenced by the experience of some lacklustre Dokken offerings in the recent past and partly due to the naff cover. What a total surprise though. This has fresh big meaty hooks and its refreshing to hear that Dokken has rediscovered that uncanny knack of panning a good melody which he traded on so successfully on in the glory days of the past. There is an undeniable Beatles vein in Dokken's deeper stuff, and it's slightly evident here. I say this in a positive way - not as a somebody who likes the Beatles but as an acknowledgement that they could knock out a good hook. If you loved Dokken in the 80s then I am sure you are gonna love this. Style wise it leans towards the dysfunctional cd sound and is stuffed full of 'love-lost' midpace ballads but I would go as far as to say that, in terms of consistency, it is possibly the best thing he has cranked out since Under Lock and Key.

REALLY GOOD STUFF
31 July 2004
Format:Audio CD
4.5 Stars-Okay, I'll admit it, I'm one of those people who have said in the past that I don't think Don could sing as good as he once could. Boy am I wrong. Just when I think Dokken is done,they come out with another strong effort. The newest album, Hell to Pay, completes a triumverate of strong albums starting with Erase the Slate, followed by Long Way Home, which I liked. It was a varied and short, but good album.I'd rather have a short but strong album rather than a long boring one(Tool).I'm a Dokken fan beginning 20 years ago(Tooth and Nail) and Don still sounds really good. Sure, he doesn't hit the "Balls-in-a-vice" high notes as often as he used to, but Don still sounds better than 99% of the singers on modern rock radio. As far as who plays guitar, I really don't care as Dokken has always to me been a vehicle for Don's voice. Sure, Lynch had great licks in the '80s, but let's face it folks guitarists are easy to come by and Don has always surrounded himself with good musicians. I take back anything negative I've ever said about Don's voice and the new album is great..go get it and support this stuff people. Also, get the new Scorpions and the new Tesla (Both Great).

Is that George???

Format:Audio CD
Very good CD. The more you listen to it the better it gets. Although I think Dokken is at there best when they are doing the heavier stuff. I have to also say I have been a HUGE Lynch fan and Jon Levin sounds so much like him that its scary. He has all the trademark Lynch licks nailed. Pick it up. The biggest problem I have with this CD is the goofy band shots and CD artwork.

Yeah

Format:Audio CD
I like this album better than their last few. And as has been said before, the guitarist sounds a bit too much like George Lynch on almost all the songs. Decide for yourself if that's a good thing or a bad thing. I love the classic Dokken sound, but I had to listen to it a couple of times for it to grow on me. Yeah, I do like it, and I'd recommend it to any fan of Dokken's music.
