 oh dear! October 24, 2008
As I said...oh dear! So DC hit the big time with this one - success in the States. It makes me wince just thinking about it. It also makes me wince to read some of the reviews here. This ablum is not even in the same league as Come n get it & Ready n willing. They were Mr Coverdales musical peaks in terms of creativity with this band. Any essence of what the band stood for was lost at this point. This was just a vehicle for a bunch of musical mercenaries to come in and make stacks of cash before running for the hills. What have Whitesnake produced since? There are arguably 4 good tracks of note on here. Yes Mr Vai is excellent - but there's no feel at all - its clinical. Plus the travesty that was to re record probably one of his greatest songs - Fool for your loving? what were you thinking David??
My tip would be to go back to the Marsden/Moody albums - thats the place to rest any plaudits in terms of a good Whitesnake album.
 The Best of Whitesnake August 29, 2008
From the product description: "While the album wasn't on par with such past releases as 1984's SLIDE IT IN and 1987's smash self-titled release..."
What an utter load of you know what. Vai destroys all those who went before him and Coverdale delivers a Leviathan vocal effort that you will be hard-pressed to find anywhere else. Combine that with wonderful songs and fantastic production and you've got the best album Whitesnake ever made. I simply do not fathom the old stalwarts' objections to this album. Let them enjoy early Whitesnake and let this album be in a class of it's own.
Best Whitesnake Album! October 26, 2007
In my opinion, this is the best Whitesnake album! It has my fav ever whitesnake song 'The Deeper the love' on it and the ever so catchy 'Kittens got claws'! Not to mention the 2nd time round for 'Fool for your loving' Its just a well put together album full of great songs!
first impressions July 11, 2007
this was the first album i ever heard by whitesnake after finding it in my dads good ol' 80's rock collection. at first i thought this was a shocking album because i had already heard "here i go again" and "is this love" which are of course from the 1987 album.
its common to compare any album to a bands best release but after giving the album a few listens it can be quite addictive and you end up with the songs in your head(now your gone, fool for your loving).
so i say give this album a listen and if you havn't heard the 1987 album then save the best for last! listen to slip of the tongue first!
Hmmm, don't listen to anybody who tells you this is better than '1987' May 29, 2007

So Mr Steve Vai is the axeman of choice for recording duties on this album. The songs are weaker than those on "1987" but surely Vai's guitar rescues the whole thing, right? No! There is little here of melody from Vai, no glorious solos to tug at the heart strings. Just a succession of technical, competent but ultimately dull guitar work. John Sykes, in my opinion, is a MUCH better composer of both riffs and solos. Vai is an astonishing technician but that's as far as it goes. Brilliant player but he's nowhere near as good as Sykes in a band setting. We all knew that Sykes' guitar work on "1987" was phenomenal and that's why Coverdale felt it necessary to get someone of Vai's stature in to record the follow-up. Ultimately though, Coverdale doesn't bring the songs and Vai just doesn't bring the chops. That isn't to say that this is a bad album, it's not. There are a couple of good songs on here, it's not all bad. I'm just criticising Coverdale for ditching the best guitarist and songwriting partner he ever had (Sykes)! Who knows how many more gems we could have had after the "1987" album?
