Back for the Attack enters with 'Kiss of Death', probably the most vicious track of Dokken up to this point and I liked how the rest of the tracks have the same hunger and energy. The album contains also a couple of powerful ballads ('Heaven Sent', 'Dream Warriors'), but these blend perfectly in the overal picture. The band shows an appetite for success , glory and with this release they consolidate their position in the AOR map. Mick Brown's drumming has now reached the next level and its obvious in tracks like 'Mr. Scary' and 'Kiss of Death'. Bass is more lively and pompous while the duet of Don and Lynch is sharper and more lethal than ever. Personally, this is my favourite album by Dokken. Recommendations: "Kiss of Death", "Prisoner", "Standing in the Shadows", "Heaven Sent".r
