The new Night Ranger album, Midnight Madness, is a must for rock fans. IT IS NOT HEAVY METAL. At least not in the style of Ozzy Osborne or Judas Priest who have given it bad conatations. They have a style reminiscent of Boston, with just a touch of Queen The eight finger hammering technique in 'Rock in America' must be heard to be believed!!! Unfortunately, it seems that (so far) only guitar players can really appreciate the difficulty in that style. And yes, they even get mellow for a while in 'Sister Christian'. A very harmonically pleasing song to say the least. Its worth it. I think its far better than a lot of the albums that are on the shelves today. Night Rnager doesn't have to depend on the 50's style of music or too much synthesizer (are you listening Van Halen?), because Their stuff stands up for itself.
