A perfect balance between hard rock aggression and lyricism
The ideal form of metal that Dokken has achieved.
"Dream Warriors" perfectly balances the commercial appeal of a film tie-in with musical perfection, while "Burning Like a Flame" fully demonstrates its appeal as a passionate ballad. Lynch's innovative guitar approach and Dokken's emotional vocals maintain an exquisite balance, representing the pinnacle of '80s hard rock. The production is also excellent, with a high level of separation between each instrument and overall impact.
