It's been three years now since the return of Whitesnake with their Top 5 UK album, Good To Be Bad. It wasn't the best Whitesnake album ever, but it was by no means the worst either. Yes, there were a few too many nods to the glossy American rock of the late eighties, but there were more than enough throwbacks to the early eighties to keep me happy. This latest album sees them slipping further down the pecking order of record labels - their association with SPV is no more - with this one appearing on Italian indie, Frontiers. They've obviously decided to give up on chart action, as it's one of those infuriating multi-format / release date thingys, which sees it coming out in the UK as a "Fan-Pack," which seems to involve a magazine, along with the CD and a badge, with the CD getting two bonus live tracks from 1990. The album will then come out properly three weeks later. I say bonus tracks, but they're actually from the forthcoming Live @ Donington 1990 DVD and double CD to be released in summer 2011. So I'll be giving that a miss, and just stick to this vanilla edition.

We're now up to version sixteen of Whitesnake, as the time since Good To Be Bad has seen bassist Uriah Duffy, drummer Chris Frazier and, most recently, keyboards man Timothy Drury all heading off to pastures new. So this heralds the recording debut of a new rhythm section in the shape of bassist alongside Whitesnake's new drummer Brian Tichy, ex Foreigner, Pride & Glory, Billy Idol and more. And despite (or perhaps because) of yet more lineup changes, this is actually a better album than its predecessor.
