 The Best Whitesnake Album "." November 29, 2005
From what I have read in a couple of rock guides this album was finished in 1983 with Mick Moody and Mel Galley on guitars. It was later re-mixed for America, at which point Moody left and former Tygers Of Pan Tang/Thin Lizzy guitarist John Sykes joined the band. Sykes had recorded the excellent Thunder And Lighting with Thin Lizzy in 1983. I am not sure how much input he had on SIN but I remember he was the only guitarist to appear in the Slow N Easy video. Anyways, I have heard every Whitesnake album and this one is their best. The riffs are good, the solos are melodic, the choruses are catchy, and the rhythm section is tight. The production by the one and only Martin Birch is very clear and robust. I like every song with the exception of just a couple tracks so I won't bother going into each one. Just get the album if you don't already have it and enjoy good early 80s hard rock. Four and a half stars!
 Whitesnake Slide it In (1984) October 9, 2005

Buy the time 1984's Slide it In came out, Whitesnake had been around for seven years. I guess the time was right in the early 80's for Whitesnake's bluesy hard rock. Before the early 80's Whitesnake had been more popular in Europe than in the U.S.A., but finally in 1984 they got their chance in the U.S. Whitesnake is a great band, songs like Slide it In, Guilty of Love, and Slow An Easy still sound great coming out of the radio in 2000's. It's a crime that Whitesnake is globbed in with the hair bands, this is a great band!

This is the best of the Whitesnake, a sloid effort on every track with blues ripping songs like the mighty ZEPPLIN.
I will always have this CD in my collection when I feel the need to hear (WS) its the one.
Saw them in concert 4 times in the 80``s the songs from this collection where the best live tunes also.

Coverdale was peaking at this point with some great rock songs
and the production and playing is brilliant. It all clicked.
Is is just me or does it sound like Sykes doesn't play a lot
on this album? It doesn't matter it's still great Whitesnake
music and I say it's a must for fans of this kind of music.
3 1/2 stars. A transition album July 6, 2005

"Slide it In" was originally released in 1984, and shortly afterwards frontman David Coverdale was the only original member of the band, surrounding himself with young, pretty faces (and huge hairdos) so as to better conquer America. He even re-recorded some of the band's best songs in poodle-haired pop-metal fashion (ew!).
"Slide it In" is the last album before the big change for the worse, and it does show signs of thing to come. Original guitarist Bernie Marsden was no longer with the band, but Mickey Moody is still there, even if he only gets one songwriting credit. And while songs like "Gambler", "Spit it Out" and the title track are sort of lightweight and a bit more pop metal than I would have liked, there are still some big, muscular riffs to be found, and some really good hooks.
"Love Ain't No Stranger" is a pretty good power ballad, and "All Or Nothing" and the catchy "Guilty Of Love" provide som genuine hard rock.
The mid-tempo rockers "Standing In The Shadow" and "Give Me More Time" with its AC/DC-like stop-start-riff are also among the highlights, and the tough "Hungry For Love" packs a really good wallop. Ands then there is "Slow an' Easy", probably the best and most recognizable song on the album, a huge hook and a great, tough rhythm section laying down a heavy beat.
All in all, "Slide it In" is not as good or indeed as bluesy as Whitesnake circa 1980, but there should be something for both fans of pre- and post-1987 Whitesnake to enjoy. A good, solid album with few misses.
