Very good remakes for the most part

"I'll start by saying that I am a big fan of "redone" versions of songs I love. I love Bon Jovi's This Left Feels Right, and this one is enjoyable as well. I think what Mike Tramp is doing with this album is literally giving his White Lion fans a memory of what once was, only now in a newer light. The versions on this album that shine are Wait, Little Fighter, When The Children Cry, Living On The Edge, Broken Home, and Lonely Nights. Till Death Do Us Part is a big step down from the original. El Salvador isnt that much different than it's 80's original and doesn't seem to fit with the other remakes on this album.

In short, if you are a White Lion fan, you would enjoy this album. So give it a listen."

"This is White lion's album of re done new versions of the classic songs.

The only original member left is lead singer Mike Tramp and this album is still good, the new versions are different and should be heard as new songs and not compared with the original versions.

Mike tramp is a great singer and is continuing White lion with new band members and atleast this album is different rather then continuing to release greatest hits cd's of the same songs.

This album was also released under the titles 'The Last Roar' and 'Ultimate White Lion' with different covers, but it's the same album."

Good cover versions

"I've never been a big fan of the Deadline label. I still can't understand why they would rather have an act (L.A. Guns, Faster Pussycat, etc.) just re-hash their greatest hits, or make 'em sound worse by remixing them to the point of obliteration. That being said, I thought Mike Tramp's 'Remembering White Lion' is a pretty good album. While Tramp does go over familar territory, he gives some of these songs an stripped down approach. "Wait" has never sounded better and appears destined to be put on the soundtrack of an Adam Sandler movie. "Living on the Edge," and "Till Death Do Us Part," have a distinctive earthy feel to them as well. Granted, I probably could have lived without a "She's got everything' and 'War Song' remake (because the originals off Maine Attraction were too damn good). But it could have been worse.. just listen to L.A. Guns Cocked and Re-Loaded and you'll see why."
