Their last great album,
By david zavos (chino valley, az United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Psycho City (Audio CD)
This was Great White's last great effort. Though it takes a back seat to Once Bitten, Twice Shy and Hooked, it still has that classic blues/rock sound. Russell's vocals are still top notch and Kendall, Lardie and Desbrow bring the rock as always. This is a highly under rated album that deserves your attention.

Album with most diversified moods,
By Suhail Zubaid AHMAD "Suhail Zubaid-Ahmad" (Mississauga, ON, Canada) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Psycho City (Audio CD)
This is one great album from Great White showing the most diversified moods of the vocalist. The album starts with slightly off the beaten path track for the band 'Psycho City', but then takes you on a familiar journey of blues based rock. There are two powerful ballads in the album - Old Rose Motel and Love is a lie - both of them having lengthy guitar solos and impressive keyboards from Michael Lardie. Besides, `Doctor Me` has a very enjoyable drum combo towards the end. The 2nd song of the album 'Step on you' has a groovy and catchy tune where the vocalist seem to be playing a quid pro quo against aggressive women. The 5th song 'Big Goodbye' is where the vocalist decides that he has had enough of deception. The 8th song 'Never trust a pretty face' is ridiculing of deceiving women. Song # 9 'Love is a lie' is a very powerful ballad, which is characteristic of the band. The band is at its best in this album. Mark Kendal's guitar work has blues based rock of 'Step on you' and wailing of 'Love is a lie' that can make you weep and everything in between. Quality of content wise, I will personally rate this album along side 'Once bitten' and 'Twice Shy'.

Albums That Should Have Been Hits But Weren't , No 1 *,
By Mr D. "Artist/Designer/Kibitzer" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Psycho City (Audio CD)
In this day and age of mediocre to downright awful albums selling gazillions of records, I'm amazed that so many good to really excellent records seem to fall through the cracks. With this in mind that I decided to do my miniscule part to level the playing field, obviously a fruitless endeavor but hey, it's my time.
From time to time I will post albums that should have been big hits but barely left a whimper. The first of which is this rare gem by Great White called Psycho City What's rare is that every song is a gem. No weak sisters, no filler. At 61 minutes of great music, you really get your moneys worth. Starting with the hard rocking title track, "Psycho City" and "Step on You" to slow bluesy plodding "Old Rose Motel" to the bigger than life "Big Goodbye", the quirky "Doctor Me", the eight minute ballad extravaganza "Love is a Lie", to the final bluesy "Get on Home" the album is solid. Psycho City goes down in my history book as one of the most unheralded, underrated, unappreciated rock album in history. Great White has several great albums but none are better than Psycho City. And to think, this album only made #107 on Billboard album chart. However it hit #1 on Old-Man-Metal's chart. If you get the chance, check it out, this album is for real. 5 of 5 people found the following review helpful:

**Bring on a World Tour**,
By Daniel Mccarthy "DJJMC" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Psycho City (Audio CD)
This album is amazing in the fact that so many songs didn't make 'rock me' -one of the numerous greatest hits compiliations that G.W released.
This is the best all round album that G.W released - It didn't have the catchy 'once bitten twice shy' 'rock me' or 'save all your love' - but all the songs are not far off and as far as musical ability goes they leave KISS (barring the excellent bass riffs) for dead - as an example. Buy it - Listen to it a couple of times - and you will be coming back for more. Enjoy 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful:

Rock fans got cheated by the suits....,
By J. Glenn Branton - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Psycho City (Audio CD)
Here lies a great album, killed and buried by a record company.....
One night in 2001 after a Great White show, I found myself talking to Jack Russell and he asked me what my favorite GW album was and I told him it was this one. He seemed suprised and at the same time gratified. Talking to him solved the mystery of why this album didn't get the chance it deserved to make a name for itself as one of the classic rock albums of the era. He also told me that the guys in the band were probably more proud of this album than possibly any other and that they had very high hopes (justified) for this album. He then explained that some idiots (my word, not his) at Capitol Records had decided that grunge was in and that classic hard rock was out. It was already decided by the time the album was completed to not support "Psycho City" and to dump Great White. In the process a really fine rock album was swept under the rug of music history. I will never forget the disappointment in his voice. What makes this story all the more tragic is the strength of this record. This truly amazing record has ten songs, every one of which is strong. I am sitting here at my computer almost sixteen years later and I can remember every one of these songs like I just heard them. This album sizles with energy from start to finish. I see alot of good reviews on Amazon for their new album "Back To The Rhythm" and 1999's "Can't Get There From Here", justifiably so since they are good albums, but if you want one that's even better find a copy of this and buy it. |
