Great CD. If it had come out in 89 it would have been huge! Also great art work on the cover.

From: Rycheage	Date: September 16, 2001 at 11:44
I agree with James. Huge CD. Great hard rocking songs and power ballads. Excellent CD. GET IT!!

From: Craig	Date: November 20, 2001 at 3:55
Little more laid back (acoustic driven) compared to the debut. No less impressive though. 'Catch My Fall' is still one of my all time favourite tunes!!!!

From: Top Jimmy	Date: February 16, 2002 at 13:26
I don´t know what the hell are you waiting to get this masterpiece. Great songs, that made you feel happyness and emotion like that.

My wife love Danny's voice but I find him to come across as reserved and doesn't really let it loose. There are a few good songs here but nothing compares to the debut cd. The lack of bombastic production leaves me feeling cold just like cover art. I do think with the right producer (Bob Rock) Vaughn would excell and bring some emotion to his skilled vocals. But again he is still a Jimi Jamison clone.

From: Gar	Date: July 16, 2002 at 17:16
Liked this one better than the first. The songs are a little more distinctive. 'Catch my Fall'and 'End of the Summer Days' are both standout tracks!

From: Desslar	Date: July 16, 2002 at 18:44
Good but lacks the energy of the debut, and seems to come close to AOR (yechh!!) at times. Still, it's a fun, relaxing listen.

From: Steve T	Date: July 28, 2002 at 13:33
Not as good as the debut and the production is weaker. Brooke still plays his heart out though.....the solo on Rescue Me is awesome.

EXCELLENT cd that came out at a time when it didn't stand a chance because of grunge & alternative at it's peak. If you dig the first cd you'll dig this because it follows the same basic framework. A little 'softer' I guess but just great songwriting that stands up still in 2002. 'End Of The Summer Days' is just killer and this album alongside 'Don't Come Easy' is one of the best 1-2 punches for melodic rock albums. Get them both.

desslar do you not like aor? curious, i love it

From: Desslar	Date: September 4, 2002 at 21:21
AOR? I enjoy some pop rock like Alias and Survivor, but as a rule it's too soft for me. As for Tyketto, I expected a heavier sound from them. This album just didn't have the same intensity as the debut.

From: Baris	Date: October 1, 2002 at 5:38
Their first album had quite satisfied me and for me it was not AOR. I couldn't hear this one yet but after reading above comments let me say if it's really close to AOR, I'll be so upset then. Cuz AOR is not my so much kinda music and Tyketto was enough good-hard-rockin band without a need to make AOR.

From: Altay	Date: November 18, 2002 at 15:54
baris,this cd is one of the best with it's unique sound.i guarantee you every tune.by the way this band has a special place for me.

I finally got this CD and yeah you're right, I want to write all the best things here for it. Firstly, after listening I cannot find anything controversial on this where some above guys did. My doubts were washed away with the first listening. IT'S NOT AOR! but a fuckin'fuckin excellent underrated rockin' album of 1994. Goes as a perfect continuation of the first again incredible album. No fillers, every song is unique. My grade is 10/10.

Well, its really interesting to hear all your comments but I think Tyketto wanted just to release something different to their prior release. There are some more funky/bluesy stuff there and I think this album has nothing to do with AOR. Not everything that is melodic should be called AOR, its really restricting. By the way, this guitar player is fucking amazing...Check out his licks on ''Rescue Me'', I think there is brilliant shit there! Danny signs his heart out, he may be not a versatile sin

From: manos	Date: December 25, 2002 at 23:19
(continue) Danny signs his heart out, he may be not a versatile singer, but his voice is so fucking gifted that you forget everything else! I really appreciate Danny's latest works with his band Vaughn but I really think that he should change his current guitar player. I saw Vaughn performing on stage twice and it was just magical Greetings to all Tyketto fans from Greece.

From: Felipe Fontoura	Date: January 24, 2003 at 11:20
I don't know why, but these guys weren't knowed for everybody... This album is a classic of the Hard Rock... Try to listen some songs... You'll know what I'm talking about.

From: syl from france	Date: February 5, 2003 at 15:58
thanx guys! i didn't that band, I bought this cd two days ago and it's fantastic, what a great voice!!! all songs are different, for me it's now a classic.

From: syl the french	Date: February 5, 2003 at 16:03
excuse for my english, I wanted to say 'i didn't know that band.

From: R.O.D.	Date: February 13, 2003 at 19:27
Not only killer songs and album...but one of the best produced in terms of sound. Clear crisp guitars...awesome vocals. A classic...and totally underated band

Hard to top the debut, but Tyketto came close on this one. Both 'End of the Summer Days' & 'Write Your Name in the Sky' capture the joy & spirit of what pure AOR is (and should be) all about. Warm, summery & totally feel-good. 'Rescue Me' rocks like it was left off 'Don't Come Easy'. 'Catch My Fall' is another standout. 'The Last Sunset' is a John Mellencampfire-ready acoustic number that was a premonition of things to come for Vaughn. All in all, this is a wonderful CD that you will treasure.

From: MJ	Date: August 16, 2003 at 21:59
I'm a bit of a late bloomer here.....just recently even heard of Tyketto and Danny Vaughn.....OMG, what I've missed out on!! This CD BLEW me away!! The vocals are simply amazing! The songs take me through every emotion possible! This one and 'Don't Come Easy' have taken turns in my player since day one! Can't pick a favorite between the two!! Simply amazing.

From: Geoff	Date: August 30, 2004 at 3:20
Few will agree with me here, but I prefer this to the debut. Don't get me wrong, none of the songs here match the first two off the debut, but this is far more consistent, IMO. 'Rescue me' is a gem, 'Meet me in the night' is killer (especially those verses) and the title track is a gem too. A lot of lighter numbers, but overall it is a really cool CD. I like it.

The problem between this CD and the first one is they are so different in style. The first one for the most part rocks hard with good melodies, and this one doesn't rock much but the melodies are exceptional. Overall this album is more consistant than the first, but depending on your personal style it's had to say which you will like more. If you lean toward Hard rock, get the first. If you are an AOR fan, get this one. I appriciate both and actually enjoy their differences. Very Good CD. 8/10

I'm with Geoff in that I preferred this to the debut also, as the closing 4 or 5 tracks on the debut didn't do much for me. This is more consistent, and I like the fact it's lighter. Is interesting to hear the interview with Danny Vaughn on the From the Inside disc as this line-up are back together and touring. Not sure if they'll make another album as Vaughn are still a going concern, but you never know...

From: Chad

I do disagree. Don't Come Easy is by far a better release. The songs are better and the album flows from song to song effortlessly. While Strength is a good follow up, it cannot match the debut. Kind of like Slave to the Grind is good but not as good as the Debut Skid Row album. Just a comparison. Danny Vaughn is a stellar vocalist. All the work from Waysted to his solo stuff is worth checking out.

From: Dave	Date: September 11, 2004 at 3:38
This does not come even close to the debut by a country mile !!!!!!!

Good stuff along the same lines as the first one, although I prefer the debut by a bit. Great songwriting, fine melodies, well played and a nice production, you can't really ask for more than that!

From: HaremScarem	Date: May 3, 2006 at 9:53
'The end of the summer days'! Cada vez me gusta más este tema. El mejor tema de Tyketto, casi a la altura de 'Forever young', aunque en otra línea menos cañera.

From: z4roxx	Date: November 7, 2006 at 12:47
I’ve expected to hear again this band after a long time,the result is always the same:GREAT.Musicc,arrangments,performance,voice,choruses.All here is awesome.Thanks Tyketto for these 2 masterpieces!

From: rick kerch vzla	Date: November 27, 2006 at 21:26
The title track as a starter is a blast from the very beginning.Even though i don't consider this aor but more hard rock is worth buying it.

From: YNGWIEVIKING	Date: September 14, 2007 at 2:26
GREAT ALBUM 90/100 i agree with all the positives comments and the fact that 'don't come easy'is BETTER but this one is really good too !BUY IT !!

From: DANTE	Date: April 24, 2008 at 12:10
SIN DUDA MEJOR QUE EL PRIMERO PARA MI GUSTO. AUNQUE COMO AQUÉL, VA DECAYENDO A MEDIDA QUE AVANZA.

From: BIG-TIME	Date: August 21, 2008 at 8:52
For me the only good track on this album is 'Meet Me in the Night' the rest is forgetable nothing like the first album. Some bands can produce the goods Gotthard, Whitesnake, others like Tyketto and Vongroove only manage a 1st good album then the rest sucks lol...KEEP ROCKIN ALL!!!

Ok being more specific about this album,well,what can i tell you guys...it surely rocks!!!...Danny Vaughn is a great singer and a wonderful frontman ..a very good release and probably one of their most consistent albums ever recorded..."Strenght In Numbers" has been my personal fave ever since ,"Rescue Me" probably my second fave one & "The End Of The Summer Days" is a nice song..."Catch My Fall","Write Your Name In The Sky","Meet Me In The Night" & "Inherit The Wind" are also top notch songs!!!...get this piece of music a.s.a.p.!!!.92/100

From: hair metal again	Date: August 22, 2019 at 4:47
Excellent 2nd step for TYKETTO based again on Danny s vocals and Brooke s sensational guitars!the songs are a bit laid back buy stii rockin and the balladesque ones very warm and deep!love it

From: dany69	Date: November 27, 2019 at 23:20
Just an amazing one,,,,the only problem was the year 1994 ?????? we all know about this Grunge Disease

Geffen dropped the band just when the album was done, tough times for this type of music. But that does not take away from its fine quality. 11 (not counting the unnecessary reissue of Standing alone), new songs, most really good. Some favourites are title track, Rescue Me, The End of the Summer Days, The Last Sunset, Write Your Name in the Sky, super Meet Me In the Night, and Inherit the Wind (plenty nice guitars). Certainly a strong follow-up to great debut, and bassist Jaimie Scott was a monster player. Lots of great bass lines and I must say Kevin Elson (and Tom Size) did a great job on the sound. Not as stellar as Richie Zito, but pretty close.
