You can't blame Loudness vocalist Minoru Niihara for leaving the band after the abysmal Hurricane Eyes, but it's a shame he wasn't around for Soldier of Fortune, a far more potent and focused affair than its muddled predecessor. Reunited with producer Max Norman, Loudness thankfully stripped away the superfluous production gloss that sunk the band's last album and crafted a tight, lean set of toothy rockers. And truth be told, new American shouter Mike Vescera -- while lacking Niihara's warmth and personality -- is quite a formidable successor, stepping into his new role with admirable chops and conviction on tunes like "You Shook Me." Guitarist Akira Takasaki, meanwhile, appears to be reinvigorated by the new singer, as he unleashes his most ferocious performances to date. ~ Andy Hinds

Average Rating: (4 out of 5 stars) 4 stars

4 stars Best loudness album
I think that this is the best loudness album that i have listened to so far. All the songs are great, with amazing guitar playing and solos, Akira's guitar playing really shines on this album. All of the band members are very talented and this album really shines all their talents very well. Although the singer is not the original i preffer his vocals than the original singers vocals. If you are a first time listner of this band, then buy this album, you will not regret it. Really great price by CD universe for this quality CD.

4 stars Try Loudness
Not many people know about Loudness, but the few who do know that this band can rock with the best of them. What really hits you about Loudness is the amazing guitarist Akira. I have a few Loudness albums and i must say that Soldier of Fortune has got to be one of the best Loudness albums that i have heard so far. All of the songs are top and really showcases all of the bands talents. But one things that i could never figure out about Loudness albums is that, though the band is talented their production on the albums are really weak and the albums don't really highlight the full potential of the band until you have a few listents to them. Loudness have some amazing songs but they are always let down by poor mixing and production. I always wonder could not a amazing talented bunch of guys such as these find a really talented producer to really work on complimenting their music on the albums which have so much talent in, but never hits the listener staright away. Anyway if you want to check out this band, then i would recommend this album to start off with.

Steelheart CD  (1991)

Soldier Of Fortune
CD $6.49  3.9 stars Top 500 Audio Samples
Possessing metal pipes like few before him, leonine Steelheart yelper Michael Matijevic scarred the airwaves forever when he hammered the simply unmatchable chorus of the hairball "I'll Never Let You Go": ludicrous and sublime, akin to Whitney Houston hitting the hot spot in "I Will Always Love You." The opening strands of "Everybody Loves Eileen" bring Ratt out of the cellar before the cut curls into a pop n' fresh roller coaster ride. The remainders on this ridiculous dish are also overlong examples of excess but not as memorable, paying homage to Whitesnake and other flailing stylistic ventures. "I'll ...

Future World
Pretty Maids Future World CD  (1987)

Soldier Of Fortune
CD $9.39
FUTURE WORLD, the 1987 album from Danish heavy metal group Pretty Maids, features nine tracks such as "Love Games." After achieving regional success with their first three records, Danish rockers Pretty Maids released Future World. Fueled by constant airplay on MTV's Headbanger's Ball and fresh off of a Scandinavian tour with Black Sabbath, the band finally had a record that connected with American audiences. Future World falls into some of the same traps that have ensnared past metal bands taking a detour into pop, as in "We Came to Rock," a diluted facsimile of Ronnie James Dio's superb "We Rock." However, the blistering title track boasts a killer guitar riff, a driving rhythm section, and lead vocalist Ronnie Atkins' full-throated Klaus Meine-like ...

Haven Something To Sing About CD  (2009)

Soldier Of Fortune
CD $15.19
Since the last very successful release, Haven sent us, "A Cappella Hymns". Haven Ministries has established a powerful presence on the internet, and the Haven Quartet, now called Haven, are getting better and better! They are Walt Harrah (who is also producer), Bill Cantos, Jeff Gunn and Randy Crenshaw. First let us warn that all the songs are accompanied by keyboards, guitar, bass and drums, but for us the story is the voices. In the complexity of harmony, arrangements and sophisticated production, the sound easily rivals that of groups like Take 6, Glad and Acappella, a sound both inspirational and esthetically delightful. 12 songs, all soft-rock, all lovely: from beautifully arranged traditionals like "I Love To Tell The Story" and "Amazing Grace" to originals like "Lord, I Lift Your Name on High", "No Greater Love", "By One Man", "O The Deep, Deep ...
