Our Take

Ah, Dokken's "Breaking The Chains" - the album that's as tangled as my headphone wires after a night out. This 1983 release kicks off with the titular track, a classic hair metal anthem that's more rebellious than a teenager sneaking out past curfew. The song's infectious guitar riffs and soaring vocals will have you headbanging harder than a bobblehead on a rollercoaster.

But don't let that fool you - this album is more than just a one-trick pony. Tracks like "In the Middle," with its catchy chorus and blistering guitar solos, showcase Dokken's versatility and range. Frontman Don Dokken's vocals float effortlessly over the intricate instrumentation, painting a picture as vivid as a Led Zeppelin album cover.

The band's chemistry is undeniable, with Mick Brown's thunderous drumming and George Lynch's face-melting guitar work combining to create a sound that's as tight as a pair of skinny jeans. And let's not forget Jeff Pilson's bass, grounding the whole affair like a trusty sidekick in a buddy cop movie.

Overall, "Breaking The Chains" is a must-listen for any fans of 80s rock - a time capsule of leather jackets, teased hair, and anthemic choruses. So put on your spandex, crank up the volume, and let Dokken take you on a wild ride through the heyday of arena rock. Just make sure to stretch first - you'll be headbanging for days.

The Fab Four of hair metal, DOKKEN burst onto the music scene in the 1980s with their infectious hooks, soaring vocals, and gravity-defying locks. Led by the enigmatic frontman Don Dokken, this California-based band quickly carved out a niche for themselves in the crowded landscape of glam rock. With classic albums like "Tooth and Nail" and "Under Lock and Key," DOKKEN became known for their anthemic choruses, blistering guitar solos, and lyrics that tapped into the angst and rebellion of the Reagan era. Tracks like "Alone Again" and "Dream Warriors" showcased the band's versatility, blending power ballads with hard-hitting rockers. Despite internal tensions and lineup changes over the years, DOKKEN's music has stood the test of time, influencing countless bands and earning them a dedicated fan base around the world. From sold-out arena tours to appearances on MTV's Headbangers Ball, these rock icons have left an indelible mark on the music industry. Whether you're a die-hard metalhead or just looking for some good old-fashioned rock 'n' roll, DOKKEN's discography offers something for everyone. So grab your leather jacket, crank up the volume, and let the anthems of DOKKEN take you on a journey back to the glory days of hair metal.
