| This is one of the BEST albums of ALL TIME! Vito Bratta's playing is some of the most beautiful I've ever heard. And boy, you obviously don't play an instrument because if you did you'd know true talent when you heard it. Maybe you should stick with manufactured pop like Britney Spears and N'Snyc. Leave the metal for those who live and breathe it.

| A very dissapointing album from a very talented band. I bought this album the year it was released and was hoping to hear great solos and songs from Vito Bratta. There is this amazing solo in 'Little Fighter. Most of the songs are not that good.

| What can I say? White Lion IS a very good band, but they were never quite my cup of tea--that's it. This cd did very little for me. The two songs that are quite good are 'Cry For Freedom' (a very emotional song) and 'Little Fighter', but there isn't much else on the not so big 'Big Game' to keep me interested. As far as musicianship goes, Vito Bratta is THE MAN; his style is so unique. The vocals SUCK; I hate the guts out of Mike Tramp--I cannot believe he even made it to such a good band. 6/10.

| The music here is better than most pop-metal bands of the era. I still think that if you're going to add White lion to your collection start with the Best Of, and then maybe buy the albums later. Mike Tramp is annoying (his hair-rock appearance in their videos didn't help the band as they were much better than Poison,Warrant etc.), but Vito Bratta's playing is tasteful and soulful, something you can't say about many guitarists of the era (all hairspray, pouting and flash, a la CC DeVille).

| this was lil heavier side of white lion as apossed to Pride ... not many slow ones ... Little Fighter was a great song as well as the remake deal on Radar Love wich had an awesome guitar solo i think . but i really like If My Mind is evil and Stand Up and Cry for Freedom ... did any one notice that the opening to lets get crazy gets played in the live version of Lady Of the valley ?? well i did and i think its cool . goin home tonight and livin on the edge are great songs too ... great cd!!

| Vito Bratta is a fantastic guitarist, no doubt about it, but the rest are a classic metal cliche. The music on this album was really appauling. It was just regurgitated metal tripe. Mike Tramp was a try-hard wanna-bee...and he failed miserably. White Lion will not be remembered as a great or even good metal act...where are they now, and does anyone really give a shit?! Vito was a wasted talent in this mediocre outfit...give me pre '91 Metallica of Rush anyday!! 2.5/10

| Although I loved PRIDE and FIGHT TO SURVIVE, this one didn't do as much for me. I liked 'Little Fighter' and the cover of 'Radar Love' kicks, but the rest kinda leaves me cold. Sorry folks, this one really isn't worth your time. Get the first two albums instead.

| This was their third album and last good album. Usually when a band comes out with a third album it really sucks and you can tell they dont have it in them anymore. but not these guys. this album kicks ass and there is a great cover of RADAR LOVE. LITTLE FIGHTER is probably the best song on the cd that was originally written by them.

| Never know why i like this album when i hate warrant's first two album. Both are too 'pop' and 'light'. little fighter and radar love are two of my favourite songs.CRY FOR FREEDOM is also a good song.Dirty women and let's get crazy are two good rocking song,although thereare some cheesy tune.Rating:7/10

| Probably not their finest moment, but I think the criticism was a bit harsh. It seemed to be mainly focused on the fact that the guitars took a slight back seat, as you can hear from the first half of the album. I love 'Going Home Tonight', 'Little Fighter' and 'Cry for Freedom' particularly, but there's no disguising this as anything but a patchy effort. 'Mane Attraction' more than made up for any short-comings...

| Barring a couple of tunes, this is not up to 'Pride' or even what was to come 'Mane Attraction'. 'Little Fighter' and 'If My Mind Is Evil' are good, strong pop metal but the gem of the CD is their cover of Golden Earring's 'Radar Love'. 'Cry For Freedom' is good but seemed too political for a pop metal band.

| Wow, people think this is better than 'Pride'?! I'm amazed! I'm not the hugest White Lion fan but I adore 'Mane attraction' and love 'Pride' too. This one however, bar the wonderful 'Little fighter' and brilliant 'Livin' on the edge' really does nothing for me. Very average and plain hard rock album. Bad, at times...

| Don't listen to 'BOY' at the top. He's obviously a cock slapper. Most wouldn't agree but I think this is White Lions Best.... It just has a thicker sound than PRIDE. Songs are first class.

| Great album, 'Little Fighter' is a great song. One of my all time favourites, especially the solo. Apparently Vito was told by a producer once to 'tone down' his playing- as in don't be so good- and Vito knew then it was time to hang up the guitar. A likely story considering the pathetic grunge tidal wave that washed all the decent players away. But, pizza shop??? Fuckin no way man, god i hope not.

| I ain't gonna lie to ya and say I play this tape every week or even every month, but I've always liked it a lot better than Pride. Songs like "Dirty Woman" and "Let's Get Crazy" are uninspired and juvenile lyrically (and not the Van Halen worship on the latter), and Tramp's take on the breakdown of the nuclear family in "Broken Home" is laughably simplistic. But then there are other tunes that are just plain great, like the irresistible "Goin' Home Tonight," "Little Fighter," the surprisingly nasty "If My Mind Is Evil," and the excellent "Cry For Freedom," with that sucker-punch guitar part in the middle. I've always hated Golden Earring's original version of "Radar Love," but thought White Lion's kicked ass as well.

| I don't know how well this album performed sales or chartwise, but it seems like it had to have been something of a ouppointment. Pride was so slow to take off, but eventually spawned two top-ten hits in America. "Little Fighter" came out as a single in July of 1989, barely five months after "When The Children Cry" fell off the charts. And that song was on MTV a lot, and I think topped out in the 50's on the Billboard Hot 100 (in the same neighborhood as "Tell Me" a year earlier). Then came "Radar Love," which was on Dial-MTV every night for two months. I dunno, was it seen as too much of a novelty. You run that risk with a cover song, I guess. And I don't believe they released a follow-up single. Like they gave up on the album or something. And if Big Game did underwhelm at the label, you'd have to figure that would influence how hard they were willing to push Mane Attraction (which was not at all, as it turned out). I just wonder now how many people were really into White Lion back t

| Now that I'm typing on an actual keyboard (moderators can feel free to clean up the mess I made) ... I wonder now if White Lion were really that big, despite two big hits. GUitar nerds loved Vito, and supposedly girls swooned over Mike, but maybe not in the way they did for Jon Bon Jovi or Sebastian Bach? It's too bad, because this is a better album than Pride, with less of that stereotypical '80's production. "Goin' Home Tonight," "Little Fighter," "Living On The Edge" and "Don't Say It's Over" are great pop-metal chestnuts. I hear "Cry For Freedom" on SiriusXM sometimes, and I wonder if that was the follow-up to "Radar Love." Regardless, by the time Mane Attraction came out, I really don't feel like too many people were exactly clamoring for it.
