Thanx Bro! I'm so jacked to hear this! I'd always said there was something about Jeff that contributed to the classic Dokken sound from Tooth and Nail forward. Lynch Mob sounds nothing like Dokken But the Lynch/Pilson album sure does and so do the first 2 End Machine Albums WITHOUT copying Dokken. They have just enough of the Dokken magic in there, but End Machine is it's own thing.
Lynch my Guitar Idol since T&N he made me a better Shredder and overall Guitarist . Jeff Pilson what can you say a fantastic Bassist , Vocalist , song writer just a a Great person Honest to a fault which is a very good thing !!
It's not Hard Rock or Metal without a Solo ! First time I heard "Without Warning" into "Tooth and Nail" I was a lifelong Dokken / Lynch / Pilson fan . Ratt & Dokken are my Favorite two 80's Glam Metal bands even though Dokken admittedly didn't do the Glam dress up as well as RATT & other's the Music still holds up today !!
As a fan of their last 2 albums but disappointed with them for replacing Mason was ready to dismiss this, but proven wrong! Kudos to Pilson, this is an incredibly strong album George sounds well inspired and Girish fits perfectly. Album is quality deserves way more press and promo, agree with your comments, thanks for reviewing \m/
First the Mick Mars album, now The End Machine and Judas Priest. I think I will just rotate these 3 albums for weeks to come. I prefer the voice of the new singer to any other George has worked with since Don. Oni or Robert are cool singers, it's just their color of voice doesn't appeal to me. Additionally Don writes much better vocal lines. God tier phrasing. I really enjoyed my first time through. Easily top 5 post-Dokken, Lynch projects and there must have been like 20 albums. But better than BftA and ULaK ? I don't think it reaches their clarity. Again, I couldn't be happier with the new album.
