| Love Don't Live Here Anymore is great, but the rest of the cd rips off Skid Row more than any other band I know. They sound almost identical. You'll think you're listening to Slave To The Grind with brand new lyrics. These guys came closer than Slik Toxik or anyone else. Although the songs are fun, they still don't have the edge that Skid Row had.

| Cool Skid Row-like sound, albeit somewhat lighter with a bit of a punk feel. The ballads are fantastic, the rest is disposable but fun.

| I must say I think this is a great album, o.k. it's sounds like Skid Row but what's wrong with that?, in my opinon the more bands that sound like Skid Row the better. I also think Slik Toxik kick arse as well!

| The greatest live band I ever saw. Svengali were fantastic - yeah they sound like skidrow but so did EMN & Slik Toxik but the production & strength of songs shines through. They blew it with album two though...

| First; Skid Row has a sound like Sven Gali. Este disco es una bomba, comparable a lo dos primeros de Skid Row. Por cierto en el CD dicen que ellos son los pioneros y no Skid. 10/10

| i bought this one in 1993, still remember being blown away by tracks like 'real thing','25 hours a day', and 'here today, gone tomorrow..'i remember also their second album where they had all new haircuts and a grungy disc that i didn't like at all (a bit like wildside second release) pity, damn pity nitrodoll1974@hotmail.com still under the influence of sven gali

| No offence to you guys, but I thought this group was very boring. Sure, the singer sounds like Sebastian Bach but they are missing the hits- same with Slik Toxik. All their songs are rather plain except for maybe "Love Don't Live Here Anymore." I just think they are pretenders to the throne.

| Although not overly original, this album is still one of my all time faves of this genre. These guys also did a wicked 12" that was given away at their UK gigs. If you can find it anywhere it's an absolute must (its got a brilliant cover of "body count"). These were also some of the nicest guys I've met. After their London gig for example, they filled their bus with fans, and took everyone back to their hotel for a party (and what a party that was!!!).

| Brilliant Skid Row like album,but still has a lil something that sets it apart from the Skids! Great rockers,great ballads & just an all round kick arse album! One word of warning though,do not buy the second album "In Wire" as it was a terrible alternative bandwagon jumping album & you wouldnt even know it was the same band (Wildside did exactly the same thing).

| I must be missing something here... I bought my first Sven Gali CD when it first came out and was impressed with it's genuinity of origional rock rifs, sexy lip licking grinds and unique lyrics. I don't *hear* Sebastian on it at all. Then again, I've always been so far removed from sterotyping- comparrissons and things of that genre. I for one, am heart broken that they aren't together anymore. Beter management would probably have saved them. Tammy

| Deja de bajarte discos. Gente como tu son los que estan destrozando el hard rock y la musica en general. Si de todas formas te lo vas a bajar, si te gusta, compralo. Necesitamos gente que compre hard rock porque si no, dentro de poco tiempo no habra nuevos discos. Piensa un poco. Nada puede ser gratis hoy en dia si quieres que el sistema funcione(sellos discograficos, musicos, instrumentos, estudios de grabacion, fotografos,....todo esta relacionado y si no hay ventas se va todo a la mierda.

| Pues no Ricardo. No te lo vas a creer pero ni se como se puede bajar algo de internet ni donde buscar material para bajarlo. Ni como intercambiar canciones por internet. Se que suena extraño pero es que no me interesa nada grabado. Si no puedo comprar algo en formato original prefiero no tenerlo. Esa es mi forma de ser. Será porque empezé comprando discos en los ochenta y por eso estoy totalmente en contra de los MP3, bajar albumes etc...Lo siento pero no te puedo ayudar. Un Saludo metalico.

| For me, if they'd stopped it halfway and released it as an EP it would be the greatest hard rock EP of all time. There are no better openers than 'Under the Influence' IMO,'Tie Dyed Skies' is one of the best hard rock songs I've ever heard,'Sweet Little Gypsy' is also killer, with a huge commercial edge,'In My Garden' is a flawlessly written track and another fave,'Freakz' is a brutal and monster hard rocker and 'Love Don't Live Anymore' is the perfect balladic closer and a true gem of a song.

| ...BTW, IMO the rest of the songs are cool slabs of hard rock, but none as essential as the first 6. Just okay, but the first 6 are sensational!!!

| An amazing cd which has all the hallmarks of SKID ROW.This is brilliant music and the vocalist could have easily sung on SLAVE TO THE GRIND.Under the influence is a belter of a song as is the closing track Disgusteen.Whisper in the rain & love don't live here anymore are great ballads.Get the BMG version of this cd because the Axekiller version skips on the first track.This is a filler free rock cd and a real classic.Do not get their second cd.

| It makes me laugh to read all these post from critics who know nothing about this band.Sabastain who went on to form Skid Row played in a band called V05. His band played covers and use to open on tour for Svengali and use to beg them to let his band open ( Svengali all original music) across southern Ontario.Slick Toxic was not even a bar band or in the picture. Who copied who here. As for the second album it is also killer. Written long before grunge scene. So what is they cut their hair so di

| So what if they cut their hair. Eddy Vedder from Pear Jam had long hair and cut his and then made fun of all the long hairs as posers when he obtained commercial success. There is an never will be another band like Svengali. Way ahead of their time and both albums are current even today. This band was banned from playing so many different small towns and cities in Canada due to its reputation. The bands reputation was based on fact and not some made up hype bull.

In agreement with the comments were it said that this act sounded too similar to Skid Row,i'd say it is not that much,just in certain parts...some good rocking tracks such as "Under The Influence" with a pretty good video also,"Sweet Little Gypsy","Stiff Competition" & "Here Today Gone Tomorrow"...anothe highlights are "Freakz"  & "Love Don't Live Anymore" that is the almost perfect follow up to Extreme's "More Than Words" anthem...a decent album...87/100
