Import remastered reissue of the long running Dutch rock act's 1986 album. Hole Music Review Average Rating: (3.7 out of 5 stars)   Except for the first song,this album is great!
If Golden Earring would have put Something Heavy Going Down on the album, and named the album that,it would have been a better seller.They should have put They Dance on there live albem.They Dance doesn't belong on Hole!If you like CUT and N.E.W.S.,you will like this album,except for They Dance.

 Very underrated
This is a good album for anyone who loves 80's music. "Quiet Eyes" is one of GE's best, up there with "Twilight Zone" and "When The Lady Smiles". "A Shout In The Dark", "Jane Jane", and "Have A Heart" are other good ones. Really, there's not a bad track on the album. Other GE albums I recommend are Bloody Buccaneers, Last Blast Of The Century, NEWS, Prisoner Of The Night, and Millbrook USA. And if you can get your hands on Barry Hay and George Kooyman's 1987 solo albums, you'll be impressed. Their very rare, but just do some searching online.

 Disappointing
As I've said in my review of Golden Earrings previous album, N.E.W.S. - the 80's sound that they were going for wears a little thin (due to being out of fashion...) and it wore out completely on 1986's "The Hole". I'm under the impression that this is supposed to be a concept album, (which ironically may reflect on the creative "hole" that Golden Earring found themselves in towards the end of the 80's) but I'm not real clear on what that concept is, other than that the music business is a void, and that this album shows it. The songs sound recycled,(the same songs over and over) and the ubiquitous time signature tells me that Cesar traded in his sticks for a drum machine... There are some good moments on this album, but the 80's - style production stifles them.

Purchase Hole CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Golden Earring No Promises No Debts CD (1991) (Import) Netherlands
Hole
 $21.29
After the muddled crossover attempt of Grab It for a Second, Golden Earring regrouped in its native Holland to record this album. This time, lead guitarist George Kooymans took over the production reins and all the group's members collaborated to write the album. There is a poppier, hook-oriented edge to the songwriting and self-indulgent epics are downplayed in favor of tight, short songs hovering around the three-minute mark. As a result, No Promises...No Debts continues the straightforward hard rock direction of the last few albums but manages to retain Golden ...
| | Golden Earring Cut CD (1982) (Import) Netherlands
Hole
$19.99 
Originally released in 1982, this collection of remastered tracks from Dutch new wave outfit Golden Earring contains eight tracks, including their hit, "Twilight Zone".
After spending much of the late '70s and the early '80s as a cult band, Golden Earring returned to an international level of popularity in 1982 with the hit single (and popular MTV attraction) "Twilight Zone." This song and seven others are featured on Cut, a solid album that found Golden Earring starting to deviate from the pop/rock formula they perfect on No Promises...No Debts and Prisoner of the Night. Like those albums, Cut works its way through a series of guitar-based rock songs built on strong hooks. However, the band allows themselves to instrumentally stretch out a bit ...
| | Golden Earring Prisoner Of The Night CD (1980) (Import) Netherlands
Hole
$21.29
Import remastered reissue of the long running Dutch rock act's 1980 album that's out-of-print domestically.
Although the band has put out several fine albums over the years, Golden Earring has not always had an easy time staying consistent from album to album. This 1980 effort is one of the rare instances in the Golden Earring catalog in which the group takes a good album, No Promises...No Debts, and actually improves on it. Like the aforementioned album, Prisoner of the Night presents a collection of songs that combine pop hooks and hard rock muscle in a radio-friendly way. However, ...
| | Henry Paul CD (1982)
Hole
$10.49 
By 1982, Henry Paul was completely devoid of musical direction, let alone inspiration. After issuing a truly fine album in Anytime a year before, Paul decided on yet another musical change in direction. On his eponymously titled final album for Atlantic before re-forming the Outlaws, Paul took the hard boogie stance of Feel the Heat and married it to pop hooks à la Boston, Loverboy, and Styx, making for a truly disastrous finale. The shrill edges in the vocals seem to be trying to get something out of Bruce Springsteen's mileage as well. But the choruses on "Nightline" are right off of Styx's Grand Illusion and Pieces of Eight albums. Synthesizers careen into ...
| | Danny Kirwan Second Chapter CD (1975) With Book; Limited Edition; Digipak
Hole
$19.79
The first solo album from Fleetwood Mac singer/songwriter Daniel David Kirwan has the future producer for Human League and Buzzcocks, Martin Rushent, utilizing those skills here, as well as engineering. The sound is crystal clear, and a feather in the cap for Rushent as well as Kirwan. It starts off with an uncharacteristic "Ram Jam City," which has more Lindsey Buckingham sounds than one would expect, especially since the two guitarists come from two different musical worlds. "Odds and Ends" is more lighthearted, the kind of music ...

It seems unfair to bring up R.E.M. every time a band hails from Athens, GA, but there really must be something in the water. "Seven Years," the beautiful opener on the Lovers' sophomore release, The Gutter and the Garden, may sound like a lost track from the Automatic for the People sessions, but the unique voice behind it owes more to Chrissie Hynde than Michael Stipe. Bandleader and wordsmith Carolyn Hart Berk -- a Boston and Athens native ...
