Album Description:
2008 reissue of Dokken's 1987 album, Back For The Attack proved to be Dokken's fastest-selling album ever (achieving platinum status shortly after its release), it would prove to be the band's last new studio album until 1995's Dysfunctional. Part of the same Los Angeles pop metal scene that hatched Motley Crue and Ratt, Dokken rocked hard, with a focus on frontman Don Dokken's melodic songwriting and expressive multi-octave vocals and George Lynch's masterful guitar wrangling. Together since the late 1970s, the band made their initial public impact when Elektra Records picked up the band's impressive '83 debut. The label would go on to release three more Dokken Albums--each better than the last--over the course of the next few years.

Rating : - Back For The Attack!
The title of this album says it all! This is the best DOKKEN album of their entire career. I first heard the single "Burning Like A Flame" and immediately became a fan. I've never really known why DOKKEN was not considered to be one of the best rock bands of the 80's. It is probably the whole glam thing. One thing they had that made them special was George Lynch. Truly one of the greatest guitar players ever! The songs ont his album are all hard rocking, catchy tunes. "Mr. Scary" is a phenomenal instrumental (and usually I do not like those) that youc an listen to over and over and it will continue to cause shivers up your spine.

Other albums I bought that sound like this are: Sloopjohnd , Under Lock and Key and Night Songs
