Pride
was
White Lion
's breakthrough album, thanks to the Top Ten hits
"Wait"
and the gentle
ballad
"When the Children Cry,"
but the rest of the album is also well-constructed
pop-metal
, with little of the over-the-top, testosterone-heavy posturing of their peers, as well as a low sleaze factor. In addition to the socially conscious
"Children,"
there are positive-vibes anthems like
"Don't Give Up"
and
"All Join Our Hands,"
and you wouldn't catch
Bret Michaels
or
Axl Rose
bowing on their knees before the
"Lady of the Valley."
Of course, nice-guy attitudes won't be as major a selling point for many
hard rock
listeners as
Vito Bratta
's showy
Eddie Van Halen
imitations. Although these border on obsessive at times,
Bratta
's interesting acoustic guitar work keeps the sound varied, and he displays a welcome penchant for melodicism. All in all, one of the more overlooked '80s
bands. ~ Steve Huey
