| I must agree with WidowMakr. This CD does rock. 'Ready to Rock' and 'Lost In The Wild' are as good as anything released in the 80's. 'Sleepless Nights' is a top notch ballad. Bottom line: get this CD NOW!!!!!

| Where did these guys come from and more importantly where did they go! What a great CD! Can't really compare them to anyone as they have their own sound. 'Hands off' should have been a smash hit. 'Lost in the wild' and most of the other songs should have been FM hits. This is indeed a lost rock treasure. Buy it if you find it.

| I recently put my hands on this one,very classy late 80's pomp rock!Melodic hard riffing guitars,reminds me a bit of Dokken riffing!Keybords like dropping sparkling notes on the songs plus stumping drums!The only aspect I think I should mention is that the vocals are too gritty to me.But somehow instead of regular vocals it gave an exotic touch to the songs!'Broken Toys'such a beautiful unusual beautiful song !Ahnn,could Cade sing properly live? If anyone knows plese write about it!I'm courious!

| I just found a promo copy of this cd featuring Grandpa from the Munsters printed on the cd itself. (bought it today, $4) A hard Guffria with limited vocal range. Typical 80's 'do we want to rock or do we want to be Night Ranger' type of record. For a major label this got NO press back in the day. Hell, even Saraya had some Hit Parader love! The slip cover is gone but the disc is flawless. I will sell for a tidy profit or file next to Jagged Edge UK (another loser band).

| Great band and definitely very underrated. They're from New York City and used to play around here all the time. Funny story: A friend of mine saw Eddie Wohl (the keyboardist) at the local strip club and went up to him and said 'I really wish the DJ would play some Melidian right about now.' Eddie was practically floored!

| I remember seeing a music video for one of the songs when I was a kid, but I didn't remember the band. 15 years later, a copy of the video pops up in my bro's collection and I find out they're Melidian. The next day, I find a copy for $2 at the local music store bargain bin. For me, Melidian not really a standout hard rock album, but it's a solid effort.

| I cannot speak highly enough of this album. Not only are there no fillers, but all 9 tracks are great. 'Ready to Rock' has one of the best hard rock riffs around and is a monster opener, 'Sleepless Nights' is an extremely beautiful ballad,'Hands Off' is another perfect riff-fueled hard rocker, as is the awesome 'Overheated', and 'Broken Toys' is a truly stunning ballad. Both ballads really stand out, but the riff driven ones there amaze too. Awesome hard rock release!

| Actually, I thought the keys saved this album. If hard rock fans resent grunge people dissing the hair metal scene, try being a keyboardist reading detective's comments. I put up with twice the flack from both genres.

| I have no problem with keyboards in heavy music per se, but it shoud be things like piano, Hammond B3, atmospherics, etc., not cheezy immediately outdated synth that douses the sound like a wet blanket. Sorry if being an ivory tinkler is such a thankless position, but in this case, it's just way too much ham and not enough beef.

| This band was criminally underrated in their time. They had the perfect formula for late 80s hard rock. Great mix of keyboards and guitars. The first 4 tracks are the strongest of the album, even though there are no bad ones in the bunch. These guys should have made it further. If you like 80s metal, you'll love Melidian. Simple as that.

| The singer used to be in a band from NYC called Hellion. They had to change their name because there was a band in California (Ann Bolyn's HELLION) using the name. NYC Hellion became CADE 88 which in turn evolved into MELIDIAN. By the way, BROKEN TOYS is one of the best ballads I've evr heard in my life. And as far as Cade's voice goes, it fit the music perfectly. Still pull this out and listen to it quite often. Has stood the test of time.

| God, I can't stand those AOR pussies, they allways rave about the most lame shit, and when they get one albm that is a little harder they come on and obiviously knock it...or they disappear on it. I don't see how you can rave about John Wait and crap like that when you have a whole world of cool ass 80's glam and heavy metal! What is wrong with these snakes? Go back to the dry desert of no killer high end vocals and awesome guitar riffs and pounding drums...80's Metal forever!

| If youīre into bands like Icon, Fifth Angel or Mastedon you will really enjoy this album. The only drawback is the voice of the singer... I donīt really like it at all, I thing this guy canīt have eaten eggs in his whole life or maybe he has smoked too much tobacco. I would have proposed Rob Rock as their frontman if that could have been possible. The music though will make you headbang until death, it sounds like a hardened Dokken. 8/10.

| Very good late 80's hard rock; catchy and has bite; no fluffy duffy wuffy wussy shit here(well alright, maybe just a LITTLE); yep, like others said - hints of Dokken and later Icon; I like the vocalist; he does remind me of David Lee Roth with a harder edge. But regardless of all that, this band did have their own sound, good musicians, and some good songs. Definitely recommended for 80's rock fans; it's good to find a lost gem on a commercial label(helps production which is great on here). 8/10

And when we Italian hard n'heavy rockers say it's a CLASS METAL album...it's an over the top de-luxe rock masterpiece with pounding drums, chromium-plated guitar riffs and AOR-heaven choruses!!!! Who does not own this album is got no class and no taste for hard rock!. Hey, Melidian guys, come back together...please!!!

| A solid release from an era when hair metal still reigned king. Good news for anybody that cares. Rock Candy has reissued this & it sounds SWEEEEEEEEEEET. The music is hair metal all the way & the keys that are sprinkeled in are not a detraction. In fact, they enhance many of the tunes & elevate them to a greater status, giving them character & mood. The vocalist is gritty & definitely has a swagger to his approach. Overall, this is a sharp album.

| Just for a bit of history - Chris Cade used to be in a band called Hellion who released one album called Dangerous Maneuvers - which I think I still have somewhere (It had an unintentionally hilarious track on it called She Pumps or something like that). I should really get this re-release as I was kicking myself for not getting it when it originally came out.

| this is one of those painstakingly lost one off cd's that got released at the tail end of the hair revolution, and the beggining of the shit music campaign, but probably released without any promotion, I know because the radio station in Utah used to play EVERYTHING!! I mean they played shit that you could literally never even find, shit that hadnt even came out yet, and sometimes never did and they still played it, never heard even a mention of this disc, would find out about it years later from a friend of mine, then found it in a cut out bin at Hastings for $5, I think its a complete gem, I dont recognize a track on this cd as a filler, I enjoy it from start to finish, stellar production work, leaning on big walls of chorus's, it borderlines over produced, it's a no brainer, if you love melodic hard rock, then youll not even think about it after you buy this, you'll be instantly gratified, trust me, get this!
