│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ After having re-released the bandÆs second (and ║ │
│║ best) effort, ôA Matter Of Attitudeö (in 2004) ║ │
│║ and their fourth album, ôScratchÆn Sniffö (in ║ │
│║ 2005), a re-issue of the other two back ║ │
│║ catalogue albums from this Danish melodic hard ║ │
│║ rock band was exactly what I have been expected. ║ │
│║ FateÆs eponymous debut album, released in 1986, ║ │
│║ already showed that this band around ex-Mercyful ║ │
│║ Fate guitarist Hank Sherman had some great ║ │
│║ potential. Although Sherman used the last part ║ │
│║ of Mercyful FATE as the moniker for his new ║ │
│║ band, the music was completely different. No ║ │
│║ black metal this time around, but Scandi melodic ║ │
│║ hard rock of the better sort! Up to now I only ║ │
│║ had a copy of said album on vinyl and I have to ║ │
│║ say that it feels pretty good to finally own a ║ │
│║ copy on CD. The material might be 21 years of ║ │
│║ age, itÆs still a pleasure listening to such ║ │
│║ tracks as ôLove On The Roxö, ôFallen Angelö, ║ │
│║ ôVictoryö and ô(SheÆs Got) The Devil Insideö. ║ │
│║ Coincidence or not, but the above-mentioned ║ │
│║ tracks were all put upfront the album. The ║ │
│║ material on the second half of the platter was a ║ │
│║ lot less impressive à as well as the production. ║ │
│║ But for a debut album the end result was still ║ │
│║ more than OK. Added as a bonus track on this MTM ║ │
│║ Classix re-issue is the 12 inch version of the ║ │
│║ song ôWonÆt Stopö, but thereÆs something ║ │
│║ seriously wrong with its sound quality on my ║ │
│║ promo copy. Hope this is not the case on the ║ │
│║ finished product! (4,5 stars) ║ │
│║ Following a class album like ôA Matter Of ║ │
│║ Attitudeö wasnÆt an easy thing to do and ║ │
│║ ôCruisinÆ For A BruisinÆö was indeed less good. ║ │
│║ The songs were not that strong and the album ║ │
│║ even contained a (superfluous) re-recording of ║ │
│║ ôLove On The Roxö from their debut album. The ║ │
│║ best two tracks on FateÆs third album were ║ │
│║ ôLoversö (released as a single + video clip in ║ │
│║ 1988) and ôBabe, You Got A Friendö (ballad). ║ │
│║ Conclusion: the least interesting of all five ║ │
│║ albums Fate have released so far, hence only 3,5 ║ │
│║ stars. ║ │
