| An excellent AOR disc with catchy riffs and choruses. Released at the height of 80's metal and should not be overlooked.

| True 80's metal.Classy guitar riffs ,stupendous vocals and drums like cannons.A must have, it's a shame that Lion did not have the attention that they deserved .They were extremely unique on their sounding,at the same time being totally 80's.Hail Kal Swan wherever you are ,and good luck for Doug Aldritch in Dio.

| Unique is not a word I associate with Lion. They were better than the average 80's rock I admit but they were Whitesnake with a little more power....nothing more.

| I'm sorry steve,I must say that your description is fair,but in terms of making music,you can use the same key,but chords,that's a personal touch.Toghether with each one's contribution ,make it all UNIQUE. Yes like a fingerprint.Thank's to Swan's and Aldritch duo.If you have listened to Tytan you'll see the potencial.For instance, I can't name any bad after Lion.If there were,somebody would be ripping off somebody.Well now,describing the band,you were true and more economic than me.Rock on!

| I'd paid a high price for this GREAT & AWESOME CD pn ebay, and it's worth every single dime. If you have any chance to come across their 2 albums, GRAB them!!! Too bad Mark Edwards met an accident in 1989 and was seriously injured which caused them to disband. Kal & Doug further pursue their career to form Bad Moon Rising. It's nice to see them not giving up, cos rock never die, never was and never will be... ROCK ON!!!

| This is a pretty rare effort,since it was released trought Music For Nations and it does not longer exist!Hard to describe one of my all time favourite bands.In essence it puts toghether all the best qualities of high qualitie hard/heavy bands of the eighties had!Plus it surelly was over the top of most of 80`s bands.Heavy sharp,exiting riffing by Doug + thundering drumms and of course perfect-pitch, banshee, classy,scottish vocals of Kal Swan!Pomp Hard/Heavy like you`ve never seen before!

| I love this CD! Although Fatal Attraction is also a great CD I rank Trouble In Angel City a little higher. My favorite tracks are Come On and Love Is A Lie. It a shame this band didn't last too much longer after this awesome release.

| I first heard of Lion on the Transformers cartoon (they wrote the theme to the series.) I found a brand new copy of this Lion album today. The store owner thanked me for finally ridding of it off his store shelves (it's been sitting there for 15 years, since the day he shelved it.) I'm glad I was able to save it before someone else could find it, because this is good hard-rocker. On-par with "Dangerous Attraction" IMO.

| This is a good riff charged hard rock album. 'Lock up your daughters' and 'Love is a lie' are two of my faves, but if you like riff driven commercial hard rock I think you'll enjoy this. The vocals sound a little stretched at times, but that's my only complaint here. Good solid hard rock album.

| Pocas bandas son tan poderosas como lo fue Lion, la guitarra de Doug suena potente y melodica a la vez, una joya de album, en serio no importa cuanto tengan que pagar por este disco (yo pague $60 dolares en Ebay), cada centavo lo vale. mis favoritas son Can´t stop the rain, Victims of circumstance y Hungry for love, pero todas las canciones estan perronas. Saludos desde México.

| Hey, have you ever heard Zinatra? It's exactly the same sound, the same vocals! I saw, and the singers are different, not the same person, but the voice looks like too much. Anyway, it's a good album. Well melodic, but without any extreme highlight song. All then are good, but there's no song that you listen and sing-a-long.

| Great band indeed! Dangerous Attraction was a very melodic and riff oriented album but this one is good also just the only thing wrong with this one is the production sucks but a fine release nonetheless.

Este grupo lo descubrí por una canción de la banda sonora de los Transformers y me llamó mucho la atención.. después de escuchar sus discos, sobretodo este último, me he llevado una gran decepción.

| Very good album! Not as good as "Dangerous Attraction" but still worth buying. The song "Love Is a Lie" appeared in Friday the 13th part IV. That's where I first heard of this band and I thought the song was cool. That's interesting to me since "Love Is a Lie" was on the Powerlove CD from 1986 and Friday the 13th IV was 1984 - wonder if that song was one of their first demos.

Decepción? Nop HardRock del Bueno, Dough Aldrich vaya maestro!! unos grandes solos la mayoría y Riffs matadores, buena voz de Swan y unos grandiosos coros, comparables a los Whitesnake pero con mucho punch sobre todo en los coros (claro que MR. Coverdale no necesitó de grandes coros para ser lo que es). En el grito inicial que hace Swan en "Lock up Your Daughters" hizo recordar al voceras de D.R.I.  "Can't Stop the Rain" vaya temazo mi favorita. "Lonely Girl" acústica solo ok. Discazo!! 9.5/10

| Excellent catchy melodic Hard Rock with killer riffs and awesomes guitars solos,the voice from Kal Swan is powerful and fits exactly with the style,songs like Lock Up you daughters, Victims of circumstance,Stranger in the city,Hungry for love are examples of what the power of hard rock can be made with passion,great -in you face- hard rock,9.5/10.

| Dear All, Actually, I have a Japanese version of the album. It doesn't have lyric notes. I've been wanting to know the lyrics of Forgotten Sons in these 20 years! I can't hear in details from Kal's vocal. Should you know anything, please tell me. Thank you for your kindly coop!

| Great album, 'Come On', 'Can't Stop The Rain' and 'Forgotten Sons' are incredible songs, pretty heavy as well. I would rate all of those tracks as 10/10, good enough on their own to give this a 95. Kal Swan is a great vocalist with a very distinctive voice, suited to melodic metal rather or the heavier side of hard rock. I only heard Dangerous Attraction a couple of times, but thought this was a far better album. Fairly heavy for this site, but if that doesn't scare you off and you like Swan's vocals, this is a must.

| This is a pretty good album.I have a couple of buts though. I've never been a fan of Kal Swans voice,he has no range witch makes every song sound similar.I think if Doug got a better singer with some range and different inflections in his voice it would be a far better album.I think both Burning Rain albums are far superior to to any of the Lion albums,not that Lion is bad just not as good.

| Picked this up for about $15 if I remember correctly. One of my favorite hard rock albums to date. Excellent stuff. Love Kal Swan's vocals.

| Not too far removed, sound-wise, from "Dangerous Attraction," but the songs simply aren't as strong (with the exception of "Lock Up Your Daughters," which kicks major butt). Doug Aldrich once again proves he is an insanely talented guitarist, but the sharp hooks of the previous album have been replaced by hooks that have gone a little dull. And without those monstrous songs in place to keep the listener focused, Kai Swan's one-dimensional vocals become a little more obvious (sorry, I do not consider this guy to be a great singer). Bottom line, this is perfectly acceptable stuff for when you're out cruising the city nights, but acceptable is just another name for average.

| Very good album by Lion...i really like Kal Swan's way of singing /m/..."Stranger In The City" is a catchy AORish song that along with another AORish one "Hold On" and songs such as "Love Is A Lie",the Slade's cover song "Lock Up Your Daughters" & the rocky one "Forgotten Sons" to mention some puts a in your face 4 sure...89/100...buy!!!
