Skagarack / Hungry for a Game (1988)

One of the best scandi releases of the 80's! "Hungry for a Game" released in 1988 and it is a hell of an album. Somewhere between Europe, Treat and Journey, Skagarack had it all to become a huge name back then. What can I say about this effort? Fantastic melodic hook lines and memorable choruses, amazing guitar work (very inspired riffs/solos) and a pretty good vocalist but an average production, which is the only low point of the album. It's very difficult to pick-up a single track as a favourite of mine because every tune here is super!! Highly recommended for everyone....
