Thunder / Backstreet Symphony (1991)

This is simply the best album that this British hard rock act have ever recorded! "Backstreet Symphony" was released back in 1991 and was the debut album for Thunder. Their music here is pure hard rock with a little dose of bluesy elements and a strong attitude. Daniel Bowes has a rough and strong voice while the rest of the band is tight with a strong musicianship and the result of all these things is this perfect album. Thunder back then had all the things to make them big in the music market, and they did it! Ok maybe not in the U.S. market, but in Europe they made a good reputation around their name. As I said, what we have here is an 11 track album full of great hooks and catchy choruses, very good guitar work from the duo of  Luke Morley and Ben Matthews, a strong production from Andy Taylor and some great songwriting! This is an album without a filler, every single track here rocks, so do a favour to yourself and go buy this gem . This is an album that can't be missed from any rock collection! Highly recommended!
