King Kobra / Thrill Of A Lifetime (1986)

Second album for King Kobra. "Thrill Of A Lifetime" continues from were "Ready To Strike" stoped, great hard rock stuff. This time the band goes to a more AOR paths, but the result is very good. The line-up for this record was the same like in their debut. The melodies and the big choruses are here, the fantastic vocals by Mark Free are once again the power point for the band and the guitar sound very good. Highlights here are the super anthemic track 'Never Say Die' ,which was the theme song from the movie "Iron Eagle", "Feel the Heat", the fantastic AOR tune of "Only the Strong Will Survive ' and the faster 'Overnight Sensation' .
All in all this one is not their classic heavy rock debut but for sure is a very good AOR record full of great performances!
