BAD COMPANY – Here Comes Trouble [Japanese Edition]
All BAD COMPANY albums featuring melodic vocalist Brian Howe were requested here in its best sound quality version possible. “Here Comes Trouble”, the band’s last studio LP with Howe at the mic never has been remastered, but this out of print Japanese edition sounds great.
The style of “Here Comes Trouble” is true 1991-92, polished crystal clear with producer Terry Thomas really involved as wel in co-writing and performing various instruments.
While founding members guitarist Mick Ralphs and drummer Simon Kirke still were at the core of the band, for many rabid fans this second incarnation of the band featuring Brian Howe never should have been called ‘Bad Company’.
Honestly, under that name or not, the quality of this version of the band is outstanding if you love late 80s / early 90s mainstream US melodic hard rock.
“Here Comes Trouble” rocks with melody, precise guitars, soaring vocals and keyboard splashes. It rocks with a bright production, combining rockers with power ballads.
It takes the formula of all melodic hard rock American albums from the era: rocking catchy first 3 tracks, a power ballad on slot 4 (the awesome ‘This Could Be The One’), next a mix of uptempo / midtempo rockers with AOR touches, and closing with another slow tune (‘My Only One’).
Formulaic? Too much safe? Aming to charts?
That’s makes me laugh loud: I like my US Melodic Hard Rock this way, quality performers and huge production values.
So if you love Harline’s first album, Damn Yankees, Bad English, etc – you know the style – “Here Comes Trouble” is a pearl you need into your collection.
And this Japanese edition sound million bucks.
