THE FACT THAT Dokken were never the most tightly bonded quartet has been well documented.

Internal rancour and persistent inter-band feuding seemed the order of the day (particularly between vocalist Don Dokken and guitarist George Lynch) yet the by-product of such friction seemed to stir the band to amazingly creative highs as this, their fourth studio, album firmly demonstrates.

Issued to huge acclaim, to a fan base already primed by the platinum success of their previous album `Under Lock And Key', this album is generally regarded as their most accomplished work.Re-recording took place over a ten month stretch, with a total of five state-of-the-art Los Angeles studio 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 Lynch's guitar solos, soak the songs with enough vim and vigour to elevate them to classic status.

Tracks such as `Burning Like A Flame', `Heaven Sent', `Prisoner' and `Dream Warriors', the theme song to the hit horror movie `Nightmare On Elm Street 3', are some of the best tracks the band ever recorded.

It's sad to note that the band's final demise started almost immediately upon completion of this album, leaving the hard rock community without one of the best acts of the 80s.
