Well executed hard rock, but I couldn't really find anything special in it. This is a sound that was more or less settled in the 1980s, and no particular innovation here 30 years on. Similarly the lyrics are perfectly functional and fit to purpose but pretty meathead.

Sounds just like anything else you can hear on the classic rock oldies station. Sounds a lot like Iron Maiden. Occasionally whiffs of Audioslave.
I like those bands and this band sounds good. For 2009 it feels a bit derivative.

Pretty standard hard rock release, but that's not a bad thing at all. Definitely needed an injection of distorted guitar this week, and the usual arrangements and lyrics got my head bobbing and kept me entertained which is all I can ask for.

lol I don't know what this is going to be but the cover SUCKS in a funny way. It kinda looks like it'll be heavy metal? Maybe from a non-English country? Greece?
Ok, it's hard rock (close enough) and the singer sounds like Jimmy Barnes. They're Australian? Fuck, I never heard of them. I love Airbourne, so how did this escape me? Either way, pretty much up my alley. 4/5.

Hard rock is a kind of practice for the dust of Oz. Koritni lay down a respectable record here, one that stays on the road and is thus clean inasmuch as the jalopy holds together. The closing words from boozing skeletons are disarmingly encouraging: Sunlight falls on the hills outside the rotting house and friendship survives the land of the dead, I suppose.

I find the album cover a little misleading. I was expecting metal, but all I got was some good ol' fashioned hardrock. Melodic, catchy and good to listen to! Also a little too smooth for my taste, but that didn't spoil the party.

I know they say not to judge an album by its cover, but I did and I was wrong. I was expecting some type of death-metal/grindcore/growly vocal type bullshit, but this was like 80's throwback hard rock. Still not quite my cup of tea but not half bad. 3 stars.

Eh..never heard of em. Super generic 80's "hard rock." Nothing stood out. Maybe they never "made it" out of Australia?

This is the sort of hard rock I can really get into, and get into it I did. There are certainly lots of other more well-known options for this kind of music but this served me well to rock out this afternoon.
Fun and a very enjoyable listen!

This would've fit perfectly among my cassette tapes in college. I would've put it in my walkman for my commute to campus and play it every day. I loved this rocking good time.

8/10. I didn't hear anything revolutionary, but definitely a solid hard rock album. I liked roll the dice and tornado dreaming 2

A very welcome sound in this list. Pretty straight forward hard rock... it sounds as if Kix took the Black Crowes singer. Everything is pretty energetic and fun, reasonably melodic and has a good driving beat. Rounding up a little bit.

If Jimmy Barnes had a jam with the rhythm section of AC/DC, and asked Slash to play some sick solos from time to time. Great stuff!

This was a pretty wild album. From the album cover I assumed it was going to be kind of trash. Then when it started it and I had my bootcut jeans on and spiked my hair and rocked out. This is the perfect music for your dive bar. It’s not great but it has its moments where it’s plenty of fun. This gives Nickelback a run for their money. 6.4/10

Agree with everyone who says this album looks like it’s going to suck so hard because of this ridiculous album cover. But was pleasantly surprised to hear some quality hard rock that I can headbang a bit to. Rock on!

This was a perfectly serviceable, well-played hard rock album, although it seems late to the game without adding anything new to the genre.

This isn’t a bad album, but for something that comes out in 2009 it sounds too much like it’s 70’s influences to be anything that special in my view. If I’m going to listen to hard rock I’d rather listen to the classics than this.

I get a big taste of David Coverdale and Whitesnake in this. Maybe a bit of Poison. Fender heavy and just classic 80s rock components. Released in the 2000s. Zoinks.

Wow. I thought they stopped making this stuff in 1989! It's not changing the world, and many bands did it better in hard rocks golden age, but it's great this is still being catered to, and it's done well.

Never heard of this band. It's like a slightly more modern take on hard rock but completely forgetable and utterly bland.
My personal rating: 3/5
My rating relative to the list: 3/5
Should this have been included on the original list? No.

Well, this isn't a bad album, but it is also a thoroughly unoriginal album that contributes nothing but a fun 40-ish minutes to your life.
Yes, the album is 51 minutes long. It gets tired after 40 though.

This album is a fairly straightforward hard rock album with touches of hair metal and glam thrown in. The musicianship is fine and the singer has a great voice for the genre. The lyrics weren’t great however and this album came out 25-30 years too late. There is nothing unique about this album.

Rode this one like a wave, up and down. By song three I was enjoying it. A few songs later I was tired of it. I'm not sure I needed two "Tornado Chasing" tracks. It's fine, played well, but would definitely be flagged for plagiarism if it went through one of those scanners. Copies a bit too hard from the likes of Van Halen ("By My Side") and AC/DC ("Game Of Fools"). Favorite track: "You Vs Me"

-Look at the cover art
-looks like lame rip off of megadeth
-listen to first 15 seconds
-it’s a lame rip off of megadeth with less metal and more lame rock sound
-keep listening, nothing changes
-turn off

I didn’t really get anything out of this - ‘80s style hard rock that wouldn’t have stood out in the ‘80s, and just felt incredibly dated for 2009
