The aptly titled III marks the return of the mighty supergroup after eight long years. The Dogs' lineup continues to feature Richie Kotzen on guitar, Billy Sheehan on bass and drummer Mike Portnoy with all three of them contributing vocals. The trio's technical capabilities are unquestionable and in this album, they try to sound as simplistic as possible while at the same time maintaining the hard rock style of their music. Not only do they manage this, but they also remain as groovy and energetic as ever before. Dynamic, enjoyable and with catchy songs, III is a worthy addition to the band's discography.rRecommendations: "Stars", "Xanadu", "Mad World", "Pharaoh"

Lacks the emotional highs of the debut and also the punch of Hot Streak. Band's technical ability is displayed throughout the album, however they show a lack of creativity in writing, which ultimately leads to a record that tends to be one dimensional and with no desire to take any risk to break the monotony. Also Ritchie's vocal performance is lackluster in some places, which wasn't a problem in band's previous records.
