John Waite always has, and always will, ROCK! You can view Bad English one of two ways: The Babys with more polished musicianship or Journey with Waite on vocals instead of Steve Perry (you can't go wrong either way, IMHO), as Jonathan Caine (The Babys, Journey) and Neal Schon (Santana, Journey) together work extremely well with Waite's vocals. The band is tight as a drum, and you can tell that this is a well-accomplished group of pros immersed in their element. This is a very well-crafted album that is on par, and perhaps in some ways better, than the group's self-titled debut. Good, solid songs throughout with only one or two tracks of filler, which is a rarity these days. Despite the fact that this was recorded in 1992 (and from where I listen there really hasn't been much good rock produced since that time), the album still holds up like a brick wall nearly 25 years later. Great work should sound as fresh and inspired years later as it did when first produced, and in that regard this album more than meets the standard.Read full review

I bought this cd because I owned the first Bad English Album and thought it was ok.I was pleasantly surprised that this one was better than the first self-tilted disc.On this one,they toned down the annoying 80's style production although it was still dated compared to that time[The dawn of the grunge movement.]The song quality is much better and to the point.Time Stood Still and Savage Blue are very good,but rebel say a prayer and so this is eden are stinkers.If you own the first Cd you might like this one.If you don't own the first one,buy it first and then decide if you even like the vibe first.
Well this is the next and the last Bad English stuff. Since I was introduced to the song "Time Alone With You" that was a MTV hit back in 1991, never had I really expected that years later it would continue to be a constant listen in my player for its rocky and catchy package. Those putting their last work down should know first what they're talking about, because every song has its story to tell. From the ballad smoothness of Time Alone With You, Make Love Last and Time Stood Still to the edgy Straight To Your Heart and to the adventurous Rebel Say A Prayer and the passionate Savage Blue, this album is tops, without a doubt. If you like high-energy rock that has a lasting, melodic edge to it, then Backlash is definitely it. A bit better than the first one. Get it and enjoy.
A bit beat up, some surface scratches, dirt, cracks to the jewel case, but, still plays well after a gentle cleaning. A good addition to my ever growing music library.
