Additional information

Loudness: Minoru Nihara (vocals); Akira Takasaki (guitar); Masayoshi Yamashita (bass); Munetaka Higuchi (drums). The 1985 album Thunder in the East may have introduced Japanese metalheads Loudness to America, but Lightning Strikes was the album that introduced America to Loudness. Their first album conceived specifically for the U.S. market, Lightning Strikes was overseen by veteran metal producer Max Norman (Ozzy Osbourne, Megadeth), who helped the band incorporate more commercial elements into their classic metal sound for the first time. In fact, except for a few badly translated lyrics (vocalist Minoru Niihara had only recently crash-coursed his way toward an admirable command of the English language), the band's transformation is a resounding success. And thanks to the phenomenal guitar acrobatics of the ever-reliable Akira Takasaki, Lightning Strikes rates as one of Loudness' best albums. The made-to-order first single "Let It Go" may sound a little forced, but heavier offerings like "Dark Desire" and the slightly overblown Hiroshima story "Ashes in the Sky" could sit quite comfortably alongside much of the band's best early material. "Face to Face" and "Black Star Oblivion" are both excellent, full-throttle rockers, and the more melodic "Street Life Dream" simply puts it all together perfectly (even the lyrics) while providing a jaw-dropping showcase for Takasaki's virtuosity. If anything, the greater problem is that Loudness' particular brand of classic metal has not aged all that well, and a few tracks ("1000 Eyes," "Complication") definitely sound rather awkward and dated. But all in all, Lightning Strikes remains Loudness' best American-made album. ~ Eduardo Rivadavia

Item arrived in a thin/poorly packed brown parcel satchel. Parcel was damaged upon arrival & when opening there was very noticeable damage to the disc cover (large crack on the bottom plastic casing). After some initial delays/unclear communication from the seller a replacement copy was sent and arrived recently. Once again the parcel was very thin & poorly packed - very disappointing - but thankfully no damage to the replacement. Seller should consider escalating the poor quality parcels.
