Our Take

The latest reissue from glam metal veterans Dokken may not be breaking any new ground, but it's a welcome blast from the past for fans of 80s rock. "The Elektra Albums: 1983-1987" includes the band's first four albums, remastered and packaged with some bonus tracks that will have you headbanging like it's 1985 all over again.

From the opening riff of "Breaking the Chains" to the anthemic chorus of "Dream Warriors," Dokken delivers a solid dose of nostalgia with each track. Lead singer Don Dokken's vocals still soar effortlessly over George Lynch's blistering guitar work, creating the perfect blend of melody and muscle that made them stars in the first place.

Sure, the lyrics may be a bit cheesy at times, and the production may sound a tad dated to modern ears, but who cares when the hooks are this infectious? Songs like "Into the Fire" and "Just Got Lucky" are the perfect soundtrack for cruising down the highway with the top down, living out your wildest 80s rockstar fantasies.

So, dust off your leather jacket, tease up your hair, and crank up the volume on "The Elektra Albums: 1983-1987." Dokken may not be reinventing the wheel, but sometimes all you need is a good old-fashioned rock 'n' roll party to remind you why this music will never go out of style.

Dokken

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.
