"In this day and age of mediocre to downright awful albums selling gazillions of records, I'm amazed that so many good to really excellent records seem to fall through the cracks. With this in mind that I decided to do my miniscule part to level the playing field, obviously a fruitless endeavor but hey, it's my time.



From time to time I will post albums that should have been big hits but barely left a whimper. The first of which is this rare gem by Great White called Psycho City



What's rare is that every song is a gem. No weak sisters, no filler. At 61 minutes of great music, you really get your moneys worth. Starting with the hard rocking title track, "Psycho City" and "Step on You" to slow bluesy plodding "Old Rose Motel" to the bigger than life "Big Goodbye", the quirky "Doctor Me", the eight minute ballad extravaganza "Love is a Lie", to the final bluesy "Get on Home" the album is solid. Psycho City goes down in my history book as one of the most unheralded, underrated, unappreciated rock album in history.



Great White has several great albums but none are better than Psycho City. And to think, this album only made #107 on Billboard album chart. However it hit #1 on Old-Man-Metal's chart.



If you get the chance, check it out, this album is for real."

"This album is amazing in the fact that so many songs didn't make 'rock me' -one of the numerous greatest hits compiliations that G.W released.

This is the best all round album that G.W released - It didn't have the catchy 'once bitten twice shy' 'rock me' or 'save all your love' - but all the songs are not far off and as far as musical ability goes they leave KISS (barring the excellent bass riffs) for dead - as an example.



Buy it - Listen to it a couple of times - and you will be coming back for more.



Enjoy"
