Dokken / Dysfunctional (1995)

This is the album that devided the die hard fans of the band.  I remember back in 1995 when this album came out that there were a lot of negative feedback about this CD. For a lot of fans "Dysfunctional" is an average album. For me is a very good album! A more mature sound in this one, very good songwriting, Don's voice is amazing and Mr. Scary delivers some super solos and riffs. The sound may be a little darker than in their previous works but overall is a very strong release. Highlights here are "Too High To Fly", a really breathtaking tune which kicks hard from start to finish. The very good and hard rockin' tune of "Inside Looking Out " which opens the album in such a great way, "Lesser of Two Evils " and "Nothing Left to Say" are also some other very good songs from this album! All in all this is another one strong effort from Dokken.
