Thunder in the East album Product Description
Thunder in the East album by Loudness was released Oct 14, 2003 on the Wounded Bird label. Loudness was a Japanese hard rock quartet that had numerous hit albums in the 80's and early 90's. Thunder In The East reached number 74 on the Billboard charts in 1985. Wounded Bird.2003. With 1985's Thunder in the East, Loudness were faced with the daunting challenge of conquering heavy metal fans outside their homeland of Japan for the first time. Knowing that their early sound might prove a tad too heavy and complex for American audiences, the foursome rose to the occasion by dispensing their most melodic compositions ever. Yet, except for a few obvious examples, like "We Could Be Together," first single "Crazy Nights," and the power ballad "Never Change Your Mind," the band doesn't seem at all self-conscious about this transition. A few all-out headbangers like "Get Away" and "Clockwork Toy" are hammered out for good measure, but it's excellent tracks like "Heavy Chains," "The Lines Are Down," and "No Way Out" which obtain the best results by bridging the gap between both extremes and providing the best foundations for Akira Takasaki's incendiary guitar solos. ...See Full Description

| Great stuff I bought this on cassette (in fact I still have the cassette somewhere) 20 or so years ago. I just loved this album. Crazy Nights, Like Hell, Run For Your Life, and Get Away were teriffic rock anthems. (I also saw them live, opening for Motley Crue back in 85 and they kicked ass). Do yourself a favor though; Stop with this album. The next few albums they released stateside were really bad. By beermandbt (San Diego)  |

| musical talent very well conformed! with so much artistic musical drive, excellent piece of work!. By coolywain (riverview,MI,)  |
| Basic 80's Hard Heavy At first this album was a bit disapoint compared to older Loudness stuff. The music is not so imaginative as in the ones sung in Japanese. The songs have pretty simple guitar riffs as well the lyrics. Thus the guitar solos are very nice. Also the sound of the album is perhaps a bit bad. Anyway, after a while you find some nice melodies from most of the songs and some of them start to sound after all very nice. Perhaps this review is a little too early compared that I got the record only few weeks ago. If you're a Loudness fan this albums is definetively worth bying. However I found Disillusion (Japanese version) and Law Of The Devil's Land as the best Loudness albums. By a reviewer (Finland)  |
