Lynch Mob--Lynch Mob

Lynch Mob--Lynch Mob (1992) Rating--9.0

This album is not quite as heavy or "raw" as the first, but I feel it probably has better overall riffs and rhythms. Also, there's a new singer, but he is just as capable as the first--and actually sounds very similiar, so it doesn't serve as a progressional distraction. The sound is a bit more AOR-based, but still heavy metal.
The grooves and choruses are what make the album--very headbanging, mesmerizing stuff, along the lines of Dokken songs such as "Stop Fighting Love". Highlights include "No Good", "Cold is the Heart", "Heaven is Waiting", "I Want It", "When Darkness Calls", and "The Secret". Also included is a rousing rendition of Queen's "Tie Your Mother Down".
HOT CHOPS--The very beginning of "No Good", where the guitar goes from a clean reverb sound to a sharp distortion, and then to a Lynch lead-over. Nice!! My local AOR radio station uses that in one of their ID teasers. Now, if they only had the balls to play the entire song...
