Album Notes & Community Reviews

Released amidst mounting interpersonal tensions that would soon fracture the band, this multi-platinum success story is defined by George Lynch's incendiary, classically-influenced guitar pyrotechnics. 'Back for the Attack' effectively balances the heavy, aggressive riffing demanded by traditional metalheads with the polished, melodic vocal hooks essential for MTV rotation.
