| Rock Ain't Dead is probably the greatest 'lost gem' of 80s rock. My all time favorite album of that genre, particularly the three song in the middle of side 2....probably the greatest 12 minutes in 80s rock. If this had been released anytime after '86 I feel it would've been a commercial smash. There will never be another album as strong as this one. For anybody who owns a copy of this, rock truly will never be dead.

| No great shakes here. The songs were starting to slip and Hamie's vocals were almost beyond being listenable. I saw these guys live in England back in the day and they were DEFINATELY a live band.

| Anyone wondering why the hair metal genre died should look no further than an album like this! My dog sings better after a swift kick in the crotch (do dogs have a crotch?) Hamie never met a note he didn't like to torture and the songs are nothing more than 3rd rate Def Leppard knockoffs.

| I saw the video for "Rock Ain't Dead" yesterday on VH1 Classic's Metal Mania hour. Now I remember why I don't have this album - Hamie has one of the worst voices I've ever heard! Which is a shame, because musically they were pretty good.

| If you have a chance and like this album, pick up the band Chyld. Very good melodic rock with Hamie on lead vox. This album gets better the more I listen to it. I remember buying it when it first came out in the 80's and shelved it. I sure am glad that it has been re-released on cd. Pick it up, you will not be disappointed.

| Sorry for the strong lenguage, but anyone who has talked bad about this treasure should just fuck off. I'm realy pissed,the band is just unique, no band (not even leppard on their early days) could match as wise teh melodic heavy metal riffs of the NWOBHM with a melodic hardr rock with so much punch than this.

| Haime is not a hi-noter, but who cares, his voice is great in his own way and it gives the band the identity that many others where hungry to get making just copy of others. This album is just perfect, and if you get the latest reissue it will include 2 killer bonus tracks Crazy And City Girl. A classis, should be in everyones collection 10/10 PERFECT!!!!

| Not as good as the first album and some of the songs suck (Throw a Party) plus aside from the music the sleeve is sooo lame! BUT it still rocks hard for a good part of the album and is still probably better than 85% of what is released today. Could do with these guys reforming .. but then things are never quite the same!

| Euginio, if you go to www.rockunited.com, you will see a brand new interview with Punky Mendoza that was only put on the site on the 10th of December 2004. It gives his e-mail address where you can e-mail a request and he will send you some of the new music he is doing now.

Ouch! I used to have this CD but traded it away. No, I'm not too sad because I'm sure it was a worthy trade... but man it's worth a decent penny.  Anyway, enough. The vocals take a little getting used to, but this CD is f*cking excellent. At times I would place this alongside Def Leppard's 'Pyromania'. Great CD. Almost every track on this is great!
|
| From: StarCity Rocker |
Date: March 9, 2005 at 9:31 |
| Like Geoff, I definitely picked up on the Pyromania vibe on this album. Very good hard rock album here. "Rock Ain't Dead" is a great opening number and the album really never lets up (except for "Heart Attack" which wasn't bad but not as good as the others.) "City Girl," a bonus track on the new versions, was another one of my favorites. Very recommended and should be more available and affordable than the eBay average lets on.

| Great Melodic Hard/Metal & AOR of course, señores no es simplemente Metal Melodico ya que mayormente es Hard Rock Melodico y con esos toques AOR es decir una mezcla buenisima de esos estilos casi lo mismo que practica Leppard en su Hysteria, por eso calificar de un solo estilo a un album variado como este es algo dificil bueno si ya estas curtido en esto puedes hacerlo ahora el album es grande de hecho pero hay un pero la voz de Hamie aca y en el siguiente se agudizan es como Torben Schmidt..
|
| From: Rafo Phoenix |
Date: October 15, 2006 at 23:09 |
| ... con sus Skagarack personalmente no me gustan esas voces agudas para estos estilos ya que mas esta hecho y encuentro cientos de voces asi en la onda Glam o Sleazy por eso esos estilos son de menor gerarquia, pero despues de quitar eso el album es de un estilacho buenismo uff si Mark free estuviera en las voces ahh seria otra cosa pero en fin, lo mismo me pasa con Accept jamas me gusto la voz de Udo el estilo de Accept es espectacular ya que no es solo Metal si Mark Free estuviera a las voces
|
| From: Rafo Phoenix |
Date: October 15, 2006 at 23:13 |

| Gran disco con estilo similar al Pyromania de Def Leppard(por su batería con cierto eco y guitarras marchosas),los temas tienen ese gancho melódico con fuerza y esa "magia" que los hace imcomparables sino escuchen Rock ain´t dead excelentes coros y electrizantes solos de guitarras,Sole survivor otro temazo lleno de riffs matadores al comienzo,Northwinds pura magia,Angel,China boy,Dream time gran balada puro feeling, como dice Hamie ROCK AIN´T DEAD keep on rockin´...9.5/10.

| Fantastic cd. Yeah, the vocals are a little different but that was the bands identity. I personally thought the voice was great as were the songs. From start to finish, I let the cd play all the way through. Sadly overlooked and/or misunderstood band that deserved much more....."Is it loud enough"
|
| From: Buitre |
Date: October 26, 2007 at 8:09 |
| Rock ain't dead is a very catchy song...but in my opinion the rest of the cd isn't worth the money. Maybe it's because I don't like Hamie's voice. To be honest I've bought this Lp in the late '80s and maybe listened to the full lenght 5 times since them.

Todo un Clasico que stylo la de esta banda que toques tan Melodicos todo un Hard metal con rasgos de AOR, un potente disco con sus sonidos misteriosos y que claro la voz que no acompaña mucho pero bueno el stylo esta bestial escuchar "Heart Attack" mi favorita por su demoledor stylo.. y que decir de  Walkin' With Angels pues solo la voz como que no la hace, pero si pondriamos a Paul Line o mejor aun Mark Free seria un Disco Demoledor

| when hearing this album, the first thing I remeber was that they sound like def leppard on their 2nd and 3rd album.the only thing I don't like very much by this band are lead vocals. a lot of great melodic stuff here. my faves: rock ain't dead, sole survivor, lost in love, angel and dream time.
