Dokken – Back For The Attack (1987) [2015 Rock Candy Remastered] is a curated Rock compilation and album release issued via Rock Candy (Catalog #[CANDY266]) (1987 [2015]). Spanning a total runtime of 01:07:07 across 18 tracks, this release delivers club-ready production, crisp low-end weight, and refined electronic grooves tailored for DJs and modern dancefloor selectors.

Tracklist:

Arguably from a guitar stand point, this is Lynch finest guitar hour. He smokes throughout, his amps sounded like they were about combust and his ‘attack’ and aggresive playing was at high point.

Recording took place over a 10-month stretch, with a total of five state-of-the-art Los Angeles studios being utilised. Originally issued in late 1987, and produced by Neil Kernon (Autograph, Queensryche, Kansas), “Back For The Attack” is a consummate example of late ’80s melodic hard rock, stuffed to the rim with all the right moves and grooves.

Don Dokken’s instantly identifiable vocals and George solos soak the songs with enough vim and vigour to elevate these songs to classic status.
