Long Cold Winter is a transition album for Cinderella, mixing pop-metal tunes with better hooks than those on Night Songs with a newfound penchant for gritty blues-rock à la the Stones or Aerosmith. The ballads -- the grandiose "Don't Know What You Got (Till It's Gone)" and the excellent, lower-key "Coming Home" -- are what made the album Cinderella's most commercially successful, but the effective combination of pop hooks and tough, swaggering rock & roll on songs like "Gypsy Road" and "Fallin' Apart at the Seams" prevents the album from becoming simply a vehicle for hit singles and keeps it interesting. Not all of the songs are memorable, but most of them are. ~ Steve Huey

Excellence! While Night Songs may have had solid writing, riffing, and performance, there was little that distinguished Cinderella from other bands other than Tom's voice and their "trashy Victorian glam" look. With Long Cold Winter, though, the band really found their niche. This is apparent right from the get-go, with the Aerosmith-esque "Bad Seamstress Blues/Fallin' Apart At The Seams". There are many other great songs, enhanced by Tom's voice and the excellent production. The only song I don't like is "Fire And Ice", which sounds like a left over from Night Songs. Tremendous album otherwise. Submitted by mcsavage (Pittsburgh, PA) Was This Review Helpful? YesNo 1 of 1 found this helpful.

Classic Cinderella at its best! A solid gold follow up to their debut album and one of my all time favorites in the genre. A great album from beginning end and a definite must for any hairband enthusiast! I never tire of Cinderellas bluesy melodic chords and Tom Keifer signature vocals.
