From the grinding riff of 'Best Years' to the Gaelic feel of 'Til the End of Time', this is an astonishing return to form from a band that never ceases to surprise and amaze! By now, many people will be familiar with the epic power ballad 'Lay Down Your Love' and this is no bad thing, as this is pretty much representative of the majority of this album. Blistering guitar solos, a colossal wall of sound, imaginitive drumming and rock solid bass, all topped off with Mr Coverdale's distinctive vocal talents and tongue in cheek lyrics. This will surely stand as one of Whitesnake's better albums and, as such, I have no hesitation in giving it a well deserved 5 stars!

What is sistermary on about? Two very negative reviews of a superb album! Cov sounds as good as ever, with the BEST band line up in Whitesnake History. The band are AWESOME with the real star of the CD the Criminally under-rated Doug Aldrich burning the fret board.
Can't speak highly enough of this album.

Its been many a year since the 'Snakes put out an album of this quality.

Its just a shame that the short comings of Coverdales voice are beginning to show through. Not as much as it did on the Restless Heart album, but the rasp has definately lost a bit of its edge. Which is just enough to take away the fifth star.

Otherwise this is a storming return to form that should please a lot of people.

Not sure about the pre-1987 crowd though. They would most likely take off another star or two...
