back for the attack.......indeed!!,
By
This review is from: Lightning Strikes Again (Audio CD)
like the previous reveiwer, i too have been a long time dokken fan. seeing the band in their glorious hey day with albums such as "under lock and key, tooth and nail ect from the 80's. dokken did do a coupe of albums in the 90's ,dysfuntional,shadowlife and a live album but in my humble opinion these albums seemed to lack a certain "something". forward wind a few years and "lightning strikes again" is here!.....i put it on and i was friggin' speechless!!! this album is a real return to form,this is the album that should have followed "back for the attack". everything on the album is perfect,the vocals,guitars,everything. don dokken sounds as good as he ever has, jon levin is more than worthy to fill george lynch's shoes and thats hard for me to say because lynch is my guitar hero! basically,what i'm saying is that if were hoping dokken would release an album worthy of the "old school", then buy lightning strikes again...trust me , you will not be dissapointed!!

BACK TO THERE BEST,
By
This review is from: Lightning Strikes Again (Audio CD)
Dokken is one of the bands that define the Hard Rock and Metal genre in the 80's. On the heels of such masterpiece records as "Tooth And Nail", "Under Lock & Key" and "Back For The Attack" the band has created an unique style made of heavy riffing and memorable vocal lines and melodies. After the band's split in 1989, Dokken reunited with the release of "Dysfunctional" in 1995 and since then have been a stable presence in the Hard Rock and Metal world.
Lightning Strikes Again is Dokken's 10th studio album and, from the title already, which echoes one of the band's classic song off "Under Lock & Key", marks a true and definite return to the classic sound of the heydays. "We have been more focused on this project than any we've done in years" says singer Don Dokken. "Yes, it has taken a long time but in the end the fans will have a Dokken CD that is as good as any we did in the 80's. Our goal is to deliver a CD that will shake up the rock world... and so far everyone says it is the best Dokken CDs since '86. It's time that a band from our era did something special and prove that our brand of music is still valid. And I think we're close, if it does not have success it won't be because we didn't give it a thousand percent effort". From the first time since the reunion, Dokken is going back to the roots of its sound and exposes with the power and the might of the new Millennium the hot riffs and incredible melodies that built the band's success. Dokken's lineup is now Don Dokken (vocals), Mick Brown (drums), Jon Levin (guitar) and Barry Sparks (bass). The album was mixed by Wyn Davis (Dio, Great White). Lightning Strikes Again rocks hard, but still caresses with velvet melodies, this is exactly what the fans have been asking for more than a decade. Don't miss it.

somthing about dokken i can't get hold of!,
By spike "Robot In Disguise" (united kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Lightning Strikes Again (Audio CD)
Dokken like other bands of that era where all thrown into the mix of the glam metal category but while those spent so much time bleaching their hair and chasing chicks in preferrence to getting their act together to perform as a rock band Dokken are one of the few that had the chops and the looks of course to survive what everything else threw at them boasting a number of good albums on the way like Tooth and Nail etc.
But this new one minus guitarist George Lynch is a return to form considering how Classic rock has made a return to the UK charts with both Good to Be Bad reaching no.7 and Def Leppards latest effort at number 10 respectivley since Lightning Strikes again is full of pure rock and roll with the unmistakable vocals of Don Dokken adding much needed sensitivity to some of the albums brigter moments LIKE Heart of Stone and standing on the outside which blends Don's idiosyncratic vocals alongside the guitar work of Jon Levin who fills the boots of george Lynch very well while choosing not to show boat but puts in his all to the album itself without much fuss. Welcome back DOKKEN!
