Firehouse / Firehouse (1990)

Sharp guitars, hard riffs, smooth vocals---welcome to the debut from Firehouse. An outstandig release and a classik album!Catchy without fully falling into the "glam" stereotype from the 80's, but at the same time biting influences from Dokken/Slaughter/Lynch Mob are apparent. "Rock on the Radio," the disc opener will kick your asses!!!!! "All She Wrote" rolls with a sing-along chorus, and a sharp riff and heavy chug. "Shake & Tumble" brings another great riff, as it's a cruising, stop-and-go attitude-driven romp! For crazy all night party...."Oughta Be a Law" & "Lover's Lane" are for ya! "Overnight Sensation" and "Helpless" may be the toughest tracks on the disc, with mean razor chops, and dark heaviness dripping throughout. The ballad "Love of a Lifetime," is great---emotional, but powerfull!
