 (3 Customer Reviews)
Two years after Dokken's best known line-up reunited the quartet issued its second reunion album, 1997's SHADOW LIFE. While the album saw the band switch record labels, they retained their '90s musical direction--the music is heavier and darker than their '80s work, but Don Dokken's melodic vocals remain.
SHADOW LIFE is similar in style to such '90s Seattle bands as Soundgarden and Alice In Chains rather than the bands with whom Dokken was associated in the '80s such as Motley Crue and Quiet Riot. It includes such hard rocking standouts as "Puppet on a String," "Cracks in the Ground," and "Hello."
Recorded at Vintage Recorders, Albacore Studios, Cave Creek, Arizona, and 710 Studios, Redondo Beach, California.
Personnel: Mick Brown (vocals, drums, percussion); Don Dokken, Jeff Pilson (vocals); George Lynch (guitar).

Shadow Life Music Review Average Rating: (3 out of 5 stars)   Grunge Dokken?
Ouch! After such a great release in Dysfunctional the band comes back with this; a Seattle version of themselves. This is a dark, moody and grungy sounding release that is just not very good. The lyrics are good and Don's singing is as good as ever but the overall sound and mix sounds like the band trying to be Pearl Jam or Alice in Chains. Here I Stand is a good song featuring a lead vocal by bass player Jeff Pilson who has a great voice. The rest of the songs are just okay to bland. Hard to Believe is another good song that has me thinking that it's hard to believe that this is Dokken!

Is this Dokken??
What the hell is this? Is this really a true Dokken album. It seems like AIC's Jerry Cantrel plays on it. Where's Don's voice, where are that George's licks?? Where's Dokken? Where's the hard rock?? This album sux!

With Chris Knight's debut album, released on MCA Nashville's sister label Decca, critics of the new country sound of the late '90s began to hold out hope that Nashville could return to the genuineness that it had been so lacking for years. That hope was rooted partly in Knight's singing, full of country-rock phrasing clearly modeled after Knight's hero, Steve Earle, but even more so in Knight's songwriting. His flair for describing the lower-middle class in Middle America, their difficulties making a living, and run-ins with the law, evokes Earle and even early Bruce Springsteen. For example, "Love and a .45," co-written with Fred Eaglesmith, describes how two lonely people on opposite sides of the law, a cop and a prostitute, find each other. One of Knight's most literate songs, "The River's Own," details the singer's father's (and ultimately, his own) union with the river that runs by the family farm. And on the album's most poignant song, Knight tells the story of "William," a boy who "grew up hard and mean," beaten by his father, only to inflict some of the same pain on his family as an adult and die in a drugstore robbery. The only problem with this album is the instrumental arrangements. Some of Nashville's top studio musicians perform, and therein lies the rub. While technically proficient, the playing never matches up to the raw energy of Knight's songs. Thus, recording for a major label was a double-edged sword. On the one hand, it gave Knight a chance to be a major force in starting a new trend in country music, but on the other, the music might have been more effective had it been ...
| | Dr Who Tenth Planet Dr. Who: Music From The Tenth Planet CD (2000) Import
Shadow Life songs
$16.29
Limited edition 2009 pressing. The music on this mini-album is taken from the 1966 Dr Who episode 'The Tenth Planet'. It was not only the last episode to feature the first Doctor, William Hartnell before he regenerates, but also the first to feature the Cybermen. Includes musical scores by Wally Stott (Scott Walker). This CD re-establishes the importance of the tracking music as it creates the tension and heightens the claustrophobic atmosphere as the first invading Cybermen arrive at the Outpost. Oche.
DR. WHO: MUSIC FROM THE TENTH PLANET features music from the 1966 television episode.
Dr. Who: Tenth Planet is a rather expensive and extremely short duration soundtrack of music from the 1966-vintage episode The Tenth Planet from the long-running BBC television series Dr. Who. For fans of the show, the episode was notable for the introduction of the Cybermen (distant antecedents to the Borg on Star Trek: The Next Generation etc.), and as the last show to feature the series' original star, William Hartnell, in the role of The Doctor (at the ...
