Return Of The Pride

注：此专集包含在日本，欧洲和北美发行的版本 All the trademarks of the classic White Lion sound can be found again on Return Of The Pride, the sequel to their biggest album: Pride. White Lion was formed by Mike Tramp in 1982. Pride, released in 1987, was White Lion's breakthrough album, bringing them to world-wide prominence, thanks to the hits Wait (#8 on the Billboard Hot 100) and the gentle ballad When The Children Cry (#3), 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, Pride contained the positive anthems Don't Give Up and All Join Our Hands. Pride went on to sell over 2 million albums and became one of the landmark albums of the era. After several more albums and world tours, the band retired. Fast forward to 2007 (the 20th anniversary of Pride). Reflecting on the changes in music and the world in general, Mike felt it was time to return to the lyrical themes and musical territory of their classic album. Return Of The Pride kicks off with Sangre de Cristo, a thunderous epic that ventures into the lyrical and musical territories better heard than described. Battle At Little Big Horn is the album s other soaring epic, a musical reenactment of one of Native America s most significant historical events: Custer's Last Stand. Hook-laden rockers such as Dream, Live Your Life and Finally See The Light maintain a positive musical and lyrical vibe throughout the album, and Gonna Do It My Way and Let Me Be Me reflect the spirit of rebellion and individualism.
