Customer Reviews

Incredible melodic rock
I had always been interested in these guys but had never bought an album by them until recently, when I ordered this one from Amazon.com. Fans on sites ...raved about this band and this album, .... This album is incredible.

How can you go wrong with rockers like "Chained", "Lay It On The Line", and the title track? All have over-the-top melodic vocals and instantly memorable hooks. Ballads like "Stay" and "I'll Be There (When It's Over)" also represent the best of what this genre is about. "Stay" is one of the best power ballads I have heard in years. Too bad it wasn't a hit, but it sure will make it on a future burned CD music mix of mine. "Lost In Paradise" is another exceptional song, the epitome of a great rock anthem. Comparisons to Def Leppard in their prime are valid when I think of songs like this--and coming from me (a huge Lep fan) that is a compliment.

I strongly encourage all melodic rock fans to pick this one up. At least as good as most popular rock album put out by '80s "pop metal" bands, and better than plenty of them.

STILL BURNIN' HOT...
Dann Huff, David Huff, Mike Brignardello and Alan Pasqua had the difficult task of puttin' out a follow-up album to the wonderful LAST OF THE RUNAWAYS. Many thought they couldn't quite do it...they were wrong.
TIME TO BURN, Giant's 2nd effort is a great AOR album, from the opening "Thunder and Lightning" to the killer "Get Use To It".
The album's agreat collection of AOR anthems, almost all co-written with the help of Brit producer Terry Thomas (Bad Company, Foreigner). The result is not as wonderful as it was on the first album (where almost 90% of the songs were co-writen by Mark Spiro), but it goes highly recommended.
"Stay" was the promo single for the record (though it had a different version, with more keyboards, and it was shorter in length).
"Now Until Forever" is a killer ballad, where "I'll Be There (When It's Over)" and "Without You" come as close as a radio-friendly AOR track could get.
Great AOR music, great production...get it now !!!

As good as the first and as good as it gets
Giant's 2nd dics is as great as the first. Although Dan Huff provides explosive guitar work it's the songs that count. I can listen to Giant's two discs all the time and never grow tired of them. I can't believe it's been over 10 years. Dan's into the production world now (country music and pop) but I sure hope he and the boys come back. Excellent.
