Come an' Get It!

"The title says it all. Every song is a killer. This is

what great rock music is suppose to sound like. I think

it's one of Whitesnake's best of the early albums and

I highly recommend it. Come n' Get this!"

Fantastic Album - Whitesnake's Best

D. Bowles | Planet Earth | 02/05/2007

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Forget the Whitesnake of the mid- to late-80's; this is Whitesnake at it's bluesy, gutsy best. I never found the "commercial" Whitesnake to be as appealing as this, mostly because this music hits me at a visceral level while the "hits" sounded manufactured. Bernie Marsden and Coverdale are both at their best, and there isn't a bad song on the album. Favorites for me are "Don't Break My Heart Again" and "Child Of Babylon". Great listening throughout."

Not a poor man's Foghat...

"Couldn't help but notice that comment from another reviewer mentioning a "poor man's Foghat" and while he says it's "almost an insult" he still only gives this CD three stars. This is actually one of the top ten hard rock albums of ALL time. It isn't quite as good as the fantastic "Slide it In" album because Bernie Marsden will never be a Mel Galley or a John Sykes, but Mickey Moody is great on here and I think Moody even played on Slide It In if I'm not mistaken, before he parted ways with Coverdale over the more and more "mainstream" American direction Coverdale was going. Nevertheless, Coverdale himself has always said that this album was the best one among the pre shred guitar American releases that began with "Slide It In". Actually, I don't even thing "Slip of the Tongue" or the "1987" Whitesnake albums are as good as this. There's six songs on here that are among the all around best blues metal tracks ever written: "Lonely Days...", "Don't Break My Heart", "Would I Lie To You"?... (yes, you little tramp), "Girl" and "Come an' Get It". An excellent release. It was around this time that David Coverdale was really being publicly derated by UK media for being sexist! Ha ha!"
