A Forgotten Hair Metal Classic!!
I picked up a cassette of this album at a podunk West Virginia flea market back in the 80's. I played the tape so much it wore out!! I have been checking occasionally to see if it's ever been issued on CD, and found some copies available on Ebay, and even bid up to $40 bucks for a copy....which I still lost? Anyway, here it is, this is a CD I have waited over a decade for...and it was well worth the wait. This is just great hair metal, with catchy lyrics, excellent guitar work, and pounding rhythms that great hair metal is known for. Heaven actually sounds a good bit like Dokken, but don't take themselves too seriously. All of the songs have a pop-metal feel, that is perfect for cranking up on a hot summer day. "Show on the Road" kicks off the album, and is one of my favorite tracks. The chorus is catchy and you will be singing along after the first listen. This is true with "Wink of an Eye" as well. "Burn" and "Keep the Fire" are great hair-metal anthems, and will immediately put you in an 80's frame of mind...(Man I miss this kind of music!!!). Heaven's cover of "Knockin' on Heaven's Door" is really good, and I feel it's the best hair metal version of Dylan's classic (Heaven beat GnR's "Knockin' on Heaven's Door" cover by a few years). Buy this CD for the original album, the extras contained here don't really add much to the disk. The unreleased track, and live stuff is decent musically, but there is like a "pop" or "crackling" noise overlaying most of the extra tracks. It's almost like the master recording came off of an old LP??!!! It's not bad on a car stereo, noticable, but not bad, but on an Ipod, it will drive you crazy! With that said, don't let the poorer quality extra stuff deter you from picking up this lost classic!!
A Blast From My Past
I originally bought this cassette back when cassettes where out numbering anything else.I have to say that their version of Knockin' On Heaven's Door is one of the best verison played my a metal band bar none (yes even better than G&R).The bonus tracks on the album are a wonderful surprise as well.I'm glad I finally have this one on compact disc and if you like really good 80's metal this album will not let you down.
80's Metal Is Still Alive
Wow, I had this on cassette and have been looking forever to find Heaven on CD and wasn't able to until now. They sound even better on CD and have been doing some research and even forgot about Where Angels Fear To Tread and recently had gotten that and WOW I missed it big time. If anyone is an 80's metal fan please, please, please pick up Knockin On Heaven's Door and Where Angels Fear To Tread!!!!!!
