Whitesnake "Forevermore"
The opening track might "Steal Your Heart Away" with its blues-rock southern boogie, breakdown, and its background harmonica. I guess I'm "All Out of Luck" With that rhythm section and those grooves dipped in blues-dance, as well as the solo that just beg for some stage splits as you hold the invisible mic stand; this song just makes you believe "Love Will Set You Free." To love the next song is "Easier Said Than Done." The song is nice, but it sounds a little dated, or just sounds out of place, and the riff sounds like a bluesy counterpart to the theme of a 90's hit TV series. I don't think I need to 'Tell You How' to win my love; you have some great percussion here even with the simultaneous shredding,and a pretty big chorus. You didn't win my love, but you won my approval (not that it is worth much). It's funny how you can like one song and dislike another. I'm not saying I dislike the first ballad on the disc, I know after a few listens I might like it "One of These Days." The first ballad of the bunch sounded like it was forced, or maybe the vocals didn't agree with the sentiment or the instrumentals; everything was competing, but this one shows how everything can work together. You want another song that you can "Love and Treat Me Right" to? This is another one of those songs made to make love to? What would you say; the lyrics aren't explicit, but you can pretty much figure what can happen next. I don't know if I would offend the "Dogs In The Street" by bringing my Guns N' Roses comparison with me. Who's crying now? I don't know, but the sister riff to the one in this track may wish her brother changes his bad-a-- ways. "Fare Thee Well" ballad, for I never want to hear you again; Don't worry we'll reunite, and I will be happy to hear your song again, I'm just being a smart aleck. This next track has them compared to Led Zep, but I still hear the voice of Axl; with that said these "Whipping Boy Blues" can't be that bad.One more raucous rocker, before we go;"My Evil Ways" tell me it's perfect, so f*** you if don't agree, I won't be mad though. The title track is one of those epics that should be placed with some of the classics "Forevermore." Whether it be Hotel California, Dream On, Stairway to Heaven, or at least Still of the Night I hear Chris Cornell in his delivery at times during this track. I can even say some epics from G'N'R, and so many more, but I won't. Favorites: Steal Your Heart Away, Love Will Set You Free, Dogs in the Street, Fare Thee Well,Whipping Boy Blues, My Evil Ways, and Forevermore
