Here's My Review Of Krokus's Headhunter
This album takes me back to my youth. Sneaking in my brothers room and listening to his tape collection while he was gone.This was one of my first listens to the hard rock music. Still love this album to this day. Krokus started in the seventies as a almost progressive rock band on there first two albums. But shifted gears on 1979's Metal Rendez-Vous. Which was Marc Storace's debut album on Vocals. But to me Krokus hit there stride on this release.The music on this album just flows and is nicely well written. The title track Headhunter flat out rocks and a fitting way to start this collection of songs represented here on this release. There's a great mixture of tunes here. Great Rockers, Mid Tempo Rocking songs and one hell of a ballad in Screaming In The Night. This is one of there best releases IMO. This album also includes a great cover of Bachman Turner Overdrives Stayed Awake All Night. Very rarely does a cover of a song become better in my ears. This is one of them. Still listen to this as much as I can. It will always take me back to my youth and sneaking into my brothers room and discovering music that I love to this day. If you've never heard Krokus. This album may be a good starting point.
