 (7 Customer Reviews)
Many figured that the last they heard from Winger was 1993's coolly received Pull, as the group splintered shortly after the album's release in the face of grunge's brief reign and Beavis & Butthead deeming the group un-hip. But with just about every '80s band reuniting in the much more hair metal-friendly climate of the early 21st century, it was only a matter of time until the Winger gentlemen reappeared. And in 2006, three-fourths of the original Winger lineup returned, with the appropriately titled IV. Although original keyboardist/guitarist Paul Taylor is nowhere to be found, Winger's other main three -- singer/bassist Kip Winger, guitarist Reb Beach, and drummer Rod Morgenstein have all reclaimed their rightful positions. Instead of trying to completely overhaul the Winger sound for the 21st century, the lads stick closely to the expected Winger musical template, which switches between heavy rockers (the album-opening "Right Up Ahead"), pop with a melodic yet-hard edge ("Four Leaf Clover"), and the obligatory power ballad ("On a Day Like Today"). The only difference between Winger 2006 and Winger 1988 is that the subject matter is more current events-based, as evidenced by such tracks as "M16." Still, if you liked Winger before, there's no reason why you won't like them on IV. [The CD was also released with a bonus track.] ~ Greg Prato
Winger: Kip Winger (vocals, acoustic guitar, keyboards, electric bass); Cenk Eroglu (guitar, keyboards, programming); John Roth, Reb Beach (guitar, background vocals); Rod Morgenstein (drums).

Winger IV Music Review Average Rating: (4.1 out of 5 stars)   List All Reviews Outstanding
This is a great sounding ablum. Kip and Reb's songwriting skills are as strong as ever on this album. Hopefully they will turn out more albums in the future.

Awesome!!!
This disc gets better every time you give it a spin. The musicianship is spot on as well as the songs. Dissapear and living just to die are stand outs. It was a bold move for the winger-dudes and it pays off.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No Mature Winger with progressive additions
Sounds a lot like a follow up to the LP "Pull". It may not have the hits, but it is a very good AOR Rock album. Beavis and Butthead are the real losers now. Their damage to Winger was counterproductive. These guys know how to make very interesting music. Some old Van Halen influences, as well as progressive Genesis. The one hit is a ballad "On a day like today". Jam to the whole CD. Just a couple songs that are fillers. Winger fans will be impressed!

I like it because of the songs, Kip's vocal and great guitar sound. Graet band.

Outstanding
One of the better albums in a long, long time by any band. The album is an absolute masterpiece. The songwriting is stellar, the playing is amazing as always (Rod Morgenstein is the best drummer I have ever heard this side of Buddy Rich). It's amazing that a guy like Lars Ulrich threw darts at Winger's picture in that video - Metallica couldn't hold a candle to Winger in the musicianship department ever.

Winger IV music CDs
$10.99
Whereas the first volume of Psychedelic Crown Jewels contained many slightly higher-profile bands whose songs have shown up on other garage and psychedelic compilations, or that have full-length collections available, the second volume plucks some extremely unknown cuts from the vaults of the latter half of the '60s that have never appeared elsewhere. That can cut both ways: the listener could be treated to some mind-blowing obscurities, made even more mind-blowing by the fact that they have remained virtually unheard through the years, or the listener could be subjected to a song that remained an obscurity for good reason. Luckily, Gear Fab's Roger Maglio, with a little help from his friends (Max Waller, Ray Ehmen, Mike Kusiak, etc.), has an uncanny knack for wading through the fuzz-, vile-spewing, teenage punks and general garage mayhem and picking out legitimately great songs and performances. Throw in the fact that everything has been documented and released legitimately ...

Winger IV songs
$9.09
Between the release of his first solo album, Perpetual Burn, in 1988 and the making of this, his second, speed metal guitarist Jason Becker suffered one of the most devastating blows a human being can: he was diagnosed with ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease), the incurable ailment that gradually renders its victims paralyzed. Perspective was recorded during the period when Becker was losing his ability to move, much less play the guitar, and thus marks a transition from his days of frantic fretboard work to less speedy playing and to writing music that is played by other musicians and ...
