Album Description
2008 reissue of Dokken's 1987 album, Back For The Attack proved to be Dokken's fastest-selling album ever (achieving platinum status shortly after its release), it would prove to be the band's last new studio album until 1995's Dysfunctional. Part of the same Los Angeles pop metal scene that hatched Motley Crue and Ratt, Dokken rocked hard, with a focus on frontman Don Dokken's melodic songwriting and expressive multi-octave vocals and George Lynch's masterful guitar wrangling. Together since the late 1970s, the band made their initial public impact when Elektra Records picked up the band's impressive '83 debut. The label would go on to release three more Dokken Albums--each better than the last--over the course of the next few years.

 What music! October 18, 2008
This was a refreshing (and sorely needed in my opinion) change of pace from "Under Lock and Key" (album 3), which seem to categorize Dokken into the cream puff hair bands - including the campy outfits.
Dokken was poetic as always and Lynch's guitar screams to be heard on this one. Definitely my favorite album from the band. Credit to Pilson and Brown too, for completing the piece and enigma that personified the great 80's experience of Dokken.

I have been a Dokken fan for over 20 years and personally this is my favorite album. It totally kicks - top to bottom. Don't get me wrong - I love tooth and nail and under lock and key but this album is great and in my opionion is Dokken at thier best.
Dokken's "Progressive" Album - Sorta January 25, 2008

I view this Dokken album as sort of one neverending 'song' - i.e, they are long, riff-heavy, solo-heavy, and not nearly as commercial as the previous two L.P's. The only songs that come close to having any real melody or commericiality are "Burning Like a Flame" , "Dream Warriors", and "Heaven Sent" - i.e, the three promotional videos made from this album.
That said, this is an enjoyable listen from a technical standpoint, but sure to dissapoint those looking for poppier metal in the vein of the prior two Dokken discs.
