Singer Don Dokken says he set out to prove something with Dokken's tenth studio album, Lightening Strikes Again. Taking its title from a track on the band's platinum 1985 classic Under Lock & Key, the new songs bring the group's sound full circle. "It's time that a band from our era did something special and proved that our brand of music is still valid," he says. "Our goal was to create an album that was our best since our heyday." Dokken returns to the band's roots for its Rhino debut, Lightening Strikes Again. Mixed by Wyn Davis (Dio, Great White), the album features Don Dokken (vocals), Mick Brown (drums), Jon Levin(guitar), and Barry Sparks (bass). Lightening Strikes Again contains 12 tracks, including the breakout songs, "Standing On The Outside," "Oasis," and "Heart To Stone." The album captures the signature mix of barbed-wire riffs and razor-sharp melodies that made Dokken one of the most dominant creative and commercial forces in the world of melodic hard rock.

 Another Crappy Dokken Grunge Lite Album November 30, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
Dokken returns to form and their classic sound? Not really. The first song is classic Dokken, the third songs kind of is. The rest of the album is the same old, watch us sound like Pearl Jam, garbage. Don still can't hit the high notes, or any notes really. Proof? Half of the songs here are awful ballads which prove Don's voice is shot. "Disease" is the worst of the lot here, it just repeats the word "Disease" over and over again for 5 minutes that seem like an hour. Hey Don, if you are going to brag about returning to the classic Dokken sound, then actually DO IT on the WHOLE album. The glue from Don's wig must be leaking into his ears, cause this album don't sound nothing like classic Dokken. The band must have faked the other reviews here, because this album is as bad as Disfunctional or Shadow Life. But the album proves that Dokken can suck without help from George Lynch.
 Dokken Fans Rejoice! October 22, 2008
Best album from Don and the boys since the 80's. This style is what made Dokken famous in the first place... killer songs, rippin leads and melodic choruses. Don's voice showing a little age... other than that great set. Get it... it does not dissappoint!
Lightning Strikes: Again September 14, 2008
If you like mid-eighties Dokken, you will like this. We could always hope for more, but this is as good as it gets without a time machine. Don Dokken has delivered a solid DOKKEN album with all of the bells and whistles. It belongs next to "under lock and key" and "back for the attack" in any Dokken fan's cd collection.
The Best Comeback of the year !!! September 11, 2008
When you listen to this album you go back in time to the best of the 80"s. It's like listen Dokken and George Lynch in the wildes days.
George? George who? You mean John? August 23, 2008
Awsome album hands down. I really thought I was listening to George play and not John levin. Way sweet follow up to "Hell To Pay." This album actually reminds of "Dysfunctional," which was a more mature sounding Dokken but it still kept the flavor of the old school. "Lightning Stikes Again" should have been the follow up to "Dysfunctional." By far best album since then, it only took them about ten years but it finally paid off.
