As part of the essential HEART albums reissued on SHM-CD by Universal Japan is the great “Bad Animals“. The recording continues the mainstream melodic hard rock style from the band’s 1985 self-titled release, all while enjoying similar success, three times platinum.
“Bad Animals” contains the number 1 hit single “Alone”, while “Who Will You Run To” reached No. 7, “There’s the Girl” reached No. 12, and “I Want You So Bad” reached No. 49. All are terrific songs.
While the album is notable for containing only a few tracks with writing contributions from lead members Ann and Nancy Wilson, I have no problem at all with it.
And that’s because we have the songwriting talents of monsters such as Tom Kelly, Billy Steinberg, Holly Knight, Steve Kipner, Peter Beckett… wow.
Yes, again produced, engineered & mixed by Ron Nevison (the best from ’80s in my opinion), “Bad Animals” sounds huge. And this SHM-CD enhance more the deep bass groove and crisp vocals.
This is a great opportunity to get these classic, must have albums on SHM-CD for a regular price. Order now, all are limited edition.
