CD Reviews

Great 2-on-1 reissue

Justin Gaines | Northern Virginia | 01/15/2007

(4 out of 5 stars)

"You have to love reissue labels like Wounded Bird. On this mid-price album you get two Loudness EPs that were originally released only in Japan. The Jealousy EP alone retails for more than twice the price of this disc. Here's what Jealousy/Slap in the Face has to offer:

1. The entire 6-song Jealousy EP. Originally released in 1988, this is vintage Loudness along the same lines as their classic Hurricane Eyes and Lightning Strikes albums, with Minoru Niihara on vocals.

2. The complete 4-song Slap in the Face EP. With the exception of the title track, the songs on this EP are all live recordings of songs originally featured on the 1991 album On the Prowl. All tracks feature former Yngwie Malmsteen singer Mike Vescera on vocals.

Loudness fans can't go wrong with this great 2-on-1 reissue. You get two import-only EPs on one CD, a taste of what Loudness sounded like with both Japanese and American vocalists, and all for a reasonable price!

What A Deal!!!

"I just got this CD, and as always I was very impressed with Akira's guitar work. He's an outstanding guitarist! I found the songs very enjoyable on the 'Jealousy' part with Minoru Niihara singing, even though the verses were done in Japanesse. Very unique on how he's able to combine the Japanesse with American.

Not much to say about the 'Slap In The Face', 'cos I've heard all the songs previously on the studio albums. But honestly I don't know why everyone hates Mike's vocals so much. I thought he did a good job with Loudness and he did a good job with Yngwie."
