Released just as the glory days of hair metal were coming to a close, the debut album from melodic rockers 21 Guns didn't make much of an impact on the music scene. It seems like there were a lot of bands who debuted in 1991 and 1992 with very solid albums that would have otherwise been hits if they hadn't come just a little too late for the party. The debuts from Von Groove, Tyketto, and Tall Stories come to mind, as does 21 Guns' Salute. 21 Guns is probably most noteworthy for being founded by former Thin Lizzy guitarist Scott Gorham. The music on Salute has little in common with Gorham's former band though; instead it follows the AOR/melodic hard rock style that bands like Bad English, Damn Yankees, and Giant were delivering at the time. Salute is a very strong album from start to finish, and features some very catchy, and very well-written pop/rock songs. Album opener Knee Deep starts things off with a bang, and it just keeps going from there. Great songs, great guitar hooks, and great vocals...what more can you ask for? This one's a winner folks. If you missed it the first time around, you owe it to yourself to track this album down, especially given its relatively low price. If you enjoy AOR, melodic rock, and/or hair metal, especially the bands listed above, you'll love 21 Guns' Salute.Read full review
