When Whitesnake broke into the spotlight with Slide It In (1984), a battalion of cynical critics predicted the band's success couldn't last, but Coverdale and company silenced all the naysayers with 1987's self-titled album, which rocketed to No. 2 on the Billboard album chart. The record was driven by the pumping rocker "Here I Go Again" and the tender power ballad "Is This Love," but the band's mainstream appeal might have had as much to do with their unabashedly sexual videos as with their bubblegum metal. The clips, which seemed to splash across MTV every 20 minutes, starred Coverdale's girlfriend and B-movie actress Tawny Kitaen, and highlighted her busty, scantily clad body in various provocative poses. Volume and T&A--a metalhead's wet dream. --Jon Wiederhorn

 WOW..... October 5, 2008
How bad is this. During the late 80s the whole big hair thing and ballad thing was the new and everyone loved it. Whitesnake compared too great bands of that era(metallica or guns n roses), is nothing compared too them. Sure they wrote Here I Go Again but all that is is just another power ballad that was so over used that era. Every single song Whitesnake pretty much has ever writtien is a freaking ballad i mean sure one or two songs but the whole album? come on. Way too much synth and ballads too be called a metal album. It just doesent work Here i Go Again isnt even that good and Is THis Love is the worse song of all time. Dont buy horrible band horrible album would give zero starts. By far not the greatest album of all time in fact its one of the worse

This is one of the greatest albums to come out in the 80s. It is quite possibly still one of the greatest albums of all time.
BAD BAD BOYS! February 9, 2008
Jon Sykes, Jon Sykes, Jon 'Effin' Sykes!!! His guitar work on this CD is absolute ball buster! If I only liked the track Still of The Night this disc would still be worth it but Sykes slashes and burns throughout the disc. And his guitar tone is monster! And I say this as a drummer, not a guitar player, that's how impressive Sykes is. You wanna hear some fierce guitar work then this CD is the real deal. Air guitar alert!!

I love reading reviews that slam certain artists for being too "commercial" and whatnot. So what. I was 15 years old when I bought this cassette and I wore it out during my freshman year of high school. At the time I had no idea who Deep Purple or Thin Lizzy was and probably wouldn't have cared.
I still have the original cassette that I bought in 1987. I recently converted it to an mp3 so I could get it onto my iPod and don't regret it a bit. Yes, some of the songs are cheesy and "glam" but it will definitely take you back in time.
If you loved them in the '80s or you're a fan of this genre you should definitely get this. Don't be embarrassed. Go get some tight leather pants and a pretty scarf and you'll be just fine.
The best album of whitesnake of all time! June 30, 2007
The band is incredible here, the sound is "strong", John Sykes is at the top of his carrer, you must have this cd, if you don't like 1987, you don't like Whitesnake!
