Product Description

Dokken wasted no time in issuing a follow-up to its breakthrough 1984 release, TOOTH AND NAIL. Although the band had been on tour constantly since the debut's release, Dokken went directly back into the studio, issuing UNDER LOCK AND KEY one year later. The new album bore stylistic similarities to its predecessor, although it was apparent that the members of Dokken were becoming better songwriters. Though the album's cover shot seemed inspired by the then-popular glam metal scene, Dokken soon rejected the look during the album's ensuing tour.
Like its predecessor, a single/video issued several months after the album's initial release ensured this record's commercial success--this time it was the melodic rocker "In My Dreams." Other highlights include the rockers "Unchain the Night" and "The Hunter," as well as "It's Not Love," the last of which was made into a promo video featuring the band playing on a flatbed truck while cruising Los Angeles. A prime opening spot on Judas Priest's sold-out tour in support of Priest's TURBO album helped solidify Dokken's stature as one of the more popular U.S. metal bands of the mid- to late '80s.

本作は、比較的ドンの個性を重視した、ヴォーカル中心のアルバムと言って良いと思います。ミディアムテンポで判りやすいメロディの曲が多いので、とっつきやすいでしょう。

DOKKENが頂点を目前した時代のアルバムです。硬派なメロディを主体にしたハードロックを聴かせてくれます。代表作である次作”Back for The Attack”ではよりヘヴィになりますが、この3rdが一番というファンも多いのではないでしょうか。初めて聴いてから20年以上になりますが、未だによく聴いています。
