Our Take
Our Take
DOKKEN's The Elektra Albums: 1983-1987 box set is a delightful blast from the past, perfect for those of us who still remember when hairspray was a necessary tool in every rocker's arsenal. These four albums showcase the band's evolution from metal band to power ballad masters, with hits like "Dream Warriors" and "Alone Again" guaranteed to transport you back to the glory days of MTV.
Lead singer Don Dokken's distinctive vocals soar and shred through each track, cementing his status as one of the most underrated frontmen of the era. George Lynch's guitar work is nothing short of legendary, with riffs that will make even the most stoic listener nod their head in appreciation.
But it's not all power chords and leather jackets here. The band shows their softer side on tracks like "In My Dreams," proving that they can do more than just melt your face off with blistering solos. The production may be a bit dated by today's standards, but that only adds to the charm of these classic albums.
So grab your leather pants and hairspray, because DOKKEN's The Elektra Albums: 1983-1987 is a must-have for any fan of 80s rock. It may not reinvent the wheel, but it sure knows how to make it spin in style.
