Take the following 3 ingredients: 1 part "musical growth & tightness" of the mid-90's "Dysfunctional / Shadowlife" era DOKKEN (Lynch & Pilson's household name band), 1 part "hard rockin' crunch" of LYNCH MOB (Lynch's band offering after 80's split of DOKKEN), & 1 part "vocal punch" of WAR & PEACE (Pilson's band offering after 80's split of DOKKEN), stir it up and BOOM! You have LYNCH / PILSON - WICKED UNDERGROUND. If you are looking for the sound of the DOKKEN - UNDER LOCK & KEY (One of my Top 5 Best Hard Rock picks ever)days, this is not it. BUT! This is 4 Star, hard rock bliss! Tight songs, KILLER guitar work (as always from Lynch) & decent vocals (Not DON DOKKEN level but decent) make this a must for the true DOKKEN "family" fan & an enjoyable ride for the hard rock fan of the 80's.
