│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ While Tygers Of Pan Tang generally tend to ║ │
│║ receive praise for their first two albums, ║ │
│║ ôCrazy Nightsö is not mentioned as much. Why ║ │
│║ this is the case escapes me, as it is a solid ║ │
│║ slab of crunchy, riff driven NWOBHM that differs ║ │
│║ primarily in that itÆs a little bit slower and ║ │
│║ gets more into the relationship side of the ║ │
│║ lyrical paradigm. Singing about women and ║ │
│║ interpersonal relationships isnÆt necessarily ║ │
│║ out of bounds for this era, although there does ║ │
│║ also seem to be a slightly more bluesy character ║ │
│║ to the riffs. It doesnÆt quite get as overtly ║ │
│║ AC/DC like the way Def LeppardÆs ôHigh NÆ Dryö ║ │
│║ did, but there is a small but noticeable ║ │
│║ divergence going on here. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Things largely follow a basic format, with riffs ║ │
│║ that are fairly similar to some of the more ║ │
│║ rocking songs on SabbathÆs ôHeaven And Hellö ║ │
│║ such as ôLady Evilö and ôWalk Awayö, with a ║ │
│║ guitar sound that actually isnÆt too far removed ║ │
│║ from the crunchy, punchy tone of said album. Jon ║ │
│║ DeverillÆs smoother, slightly crooning voice is ║ │
│║ about as present as it is on the later, more ║ │
│║ mainstream sounding ôThe Cageö, but doesnÆt ║ │
│║ really detract from the razor edged goodness on ║ │
│║ display here. Even the slow grooving, 4 chord ║ │
│║ banging opener ôDo It Goodö is just a little too ║ │
│║ heavy for a party song, even though the lyrics ║ │
│║ have that aura and DeverillÆs vocals sound about ║ │
│║ as hard rock as Robert Plant. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ As things progress, a duality of Deep Purple ║ │
│║ styled riffing (mostly of the earlier 70s era) ║ │
│║ and large sounding chorus sections is basically ║ │
│║ the norm. The happy-go-lucky ôLove DonÆt Stayö ║ │
│║ is almost fit for rock radio, save that really ║ │
│║ hard edged principle riff thatÆs about as heavy ║ │
│║ as what Accept was putting out at the time. ║ │
│║ ôRunning Out Of Timeö speeds things up and goes ║ │
│║ in more of a Riot direction, pretty similar to ║ │
│║ that of ôNaritaö actually, but perhaps a tiny ║ │
│║ bit simpler. And the fun as hell ôRaised On ║ │
│║ Rockö has a nice busy, bluesy groove to it that ║ │
│║ is somewhat reminiscent of BostonÆs ôSmokinÆö, ║ │
│║ but without the rock organ and at a faster ║ │
│║ tempo. ThereÆs also some good bonus material on ║ │
│║ here, including the galloping wonder ôSlip ║ │
│║ Awayö, which sounds like a throwback to ║ │
│║ ôSpellboundö and probably would have made what ║ │
│║ was already a great album even better had it ║ │
│║ been on there. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ At the end of the day, this is something that is ║ │
│║ still rock solid and shouldnÆt be passed up ║ │
│║ despite being a little bit more rocking than the ║ │
│║ previous two. But itÆs definitely far removed ║ │
│║ stylistically from the overt AOR and big hair ║ │
│║ 80s tendencies of ôThe Cageö, let alone the ║ │
│║ keyboard steeped arena party rock that came ║ │
│║ after. ôSpellboundö should be at the top of the ║ │
│║ list for anyone looking to experience good ║ │
│║ NWOBHM, but this isnÆt too far behind. ║ │
