VICIOUS RUMORS - Soldiers of the Night (1986)


MMM

Solid but unspectacular, this is still an enjoyable romp with shredder Vinnie Moore drafted in to add a little guitar pizzaz. This album was released in 1986, but it strikes me that Vinnie Moore's excellent 'Mind's Eye' album wasn't much later and his playing is far superior there. Whatever, this sounds somehow 'old' compared to 'Digital Dictator' which was only a couple of years later and pummels it on every level really, not least in the vocalist department with Carl Albert replacing Gary St Pierre. Fun but not essential by any means.
