Dokken Album Ranking from Worst to Best
#12: Shadowlife (1997)
I’m NOT speaking hyperbole when I say this is one of the WORST albums EVER MADE…in ALL of music! GAWD, everything about this is so FUCKING bad…right down to the shitty album cover where they didn’t even insert the BAND LOGO properly! What in the FUCK is that crop job?!😂 Now, the story goes that George Lynch purposely sabotaged this album just so he could get kicked out of the band again. And you know what…I BELIEVE IT because NOTHING on this album sounds like Dokken OR Lynch😂 It’s just shitty attempts at Alt Rock or Grunge, with a vocalist who’s voice is the FARTHEST THING from that style, it’s not even funny!
Please pray for my bleeding ears because I actually went back and listen to this thing to try finding ANYTHING salvageable. And guess what…I FOUND NOTHING😂 God, I’m never listening to this thing EVER AGAIN. I FUCKING HATE this album with a burning passion (in case you couldn’t tell😂). Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go cleanse my pallet with St. Anger or something…ANYTHING to get this FILTH out of my head!
