Not sure what to make of this?!

I loved the old tunes and enjoyed this release as well. It's sort of a weird mixture of old school metal meets new metal. Tune downed guitars, rearranged parts, angrier vocals best describes this.



The song selection is cool, but the new sound does take some getting used to especially if you loved the way they use to sound!



It's different and honestly I'm not sure what to think about it really. Perhaps a remastered Dokken catalog would have been a better idea. Either way it just sounds different from the ones we're all used to. Is it better overall?, maybe or maybe not, it depends on how you view it. If you're expecting updated sounding Lynch Mob/Dokken tunes you may be very disappointed. What they've done here is really reworked the entire songs structure. The old familiar ones, don't sound anything like the newer versions and vice a versa.



Even with the new parts/ideas/textures, it's still a decent listen, but it's also a buyer beware kind of deal as it's not really what you'd expect it to be. Personnally I liked it, but I can underdstand those die hards who might not.
