│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ The first of Giantæs two albums, 1989Æs Last Of The ║ │
│║ Runaways is a well produced hard rock album, although way ║ │
│║ too ballad-heavy for my tastes. While the softer songs all ║ │
│║ stand up on their own, there are just too many of them, and ║ │
│║ the album gets boring, despite excellent musicianship. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Musically, however, the band is very sound and the record ║ │
│║ is very sleekly produced. Despite sappy lyrics that all ║ │
│║ sound like they were written by Don Dokken (not a good ║ │
│║ thing), they all have very catchy and well constructed ║ │
│║ melodies. They sound like a mix of U2, Bonham, more U2, ║ │
│║ some Whitesnake, and more U2, led by vocalist Dann Huff, ║ │
│║ who sounds almost exactly like a carbon copy of Bono. Even ║ │
│║ though U2 drives me up the wall, Giantæs brand of hard rock ║ │
│║ doesnÆt do so. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Towards the middle of the album, Giant turn up the rockinÆ ║ │
│║ a few notches, taking a break from the softer side they had ║ │
│║ been exhibiting. ôShake Me Upö and ôThe Big Pitchö ù the ║ │
│║ only two non-ballads ù are probably my favorite tunes on ║ │
│║ the album. If they had gone with a few more rockers, the ║ │
│║ album would have been a lot better, in my view. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Their second album, 1992Æs Time To Burn, goes that route ║ │
│║ and is a much better offering. Even with the brilliant ║ │
│║ musicianship and beautiful melodies, I found Last Of The ║ │
│║ Runaways very underwhelming and disappointing. ║ │
