The catchy Little Fighter (In memory of The Rainbow Warrior) has an upbeat feel to it and is carried by inspired guitar work.
The bridge sections provide a great lead to the chorus and the way Mike heads into each of these at 0:46 and 1:46 adds a ton of emotion to the song. I’m totally in love with the brilliant chorus, where the repeated title line adds a special, intense drive to the song, gently pushed forward by the controlled guitar riff. Don't say it's over is a personal favorite. It seems like every White Lion album has a break up song. That moment captures the essence of the song. The way Mike sings the second to last line at 4:37 always gets me. I love the sombre bridge section in the first two verses and the guitar solo, which screams of desperation. White Lion have always excelled at their ballads and Broken Home is among their best. Mike Tramp's voice is filled with a yearning that gives the song a stronger impact. The guitar work is really enticing and varied with lots of little touches in each verse. Opening the album, Goin' Home Tonight has an undeniable happy vibe to it that is bound to get you in a good mood. Living on the edge and Don't say it's over are prime examples of this. Scattered through the songs are an abundance of cool licks that gives the music an element of surprise. His playing feels natural and he infuses the songs with a vigor that is not often heard.
The guitar work of Vito Bratta deserves a special mention. Greg D'Angelo on drums and James Lomenzo on bass deliver a tight rhythm section and work as a solid backbone. The genius guitarist Vito Bratta and Mike Tramp's expressive voice are the two most immediate ingredients that set the band apart from the rest. Subjects range from political and world issues through to love and partying. White Lion play hard rock and their songs are varied in both musical and lyrical content. The album still sparkles with creativity and enthusiasm and holds up very well.
