I have been a Great White fan since their self titled first album...in fact, I went to see Judas Priest back in '84 only because Great White was the opening act.I still love listening to the old stuff, but this one is by far my favorite. It is definitely more mature and mellow by comparison...but I keep listening to this one over and over! "Rolling Stoned" is good, classic rock'n'roll, and the ballads are fabulous!The boys get some help from a couple of my other favorite rockers...Jack Blades (Night Ranger, Damn Yankees, Shaw/Blades) helped to write quite a few songs. You can really hear his influence on "In the Tradition"...which has to be the best song on the album. Don Dokken (Dokken) helped out on "Wooden Jesus".So, whether you are a "old" die-hard fan, or a new one, don't miss this one!
