The original lineup of Hardline featured Neal Schon (Santana, Journey, Bad English). Schon co-wrote most of the songs on this record, played lead guitar, produced and arranged it. It has a harder rock edge than some of his other work, but remains melodic and very listenable. Johnny Gioeli contributes impressive lead vocals. I recommend it highly. Unfortunately Schon left the band after this record.

I had remembered hearing a song or two from Hardline back in 1992 when their album first came out and really liked their music. Their popularity was fueled by the fact that Journey guitarist Neil Schon was in the band. I recently had heard one of the songs and thought it would be great to have the cd and so I checked on Ebay and there it was. The entire cd is excellent. A nice mix of hard melodic rock songs & a few mellow ballads make up probably what is one of the best rock albums of the 90's. If you're a fan of Bon Jovi than you'll love this cd. There are times when it sounds like him. My particular favorites on this disc are Rhythm From A Red Car, Takin Me Down, and Hot Cherie. Find a copy on Ebay, buy it, and then turn it up loud!
I bought this cd off of the single "Hot Cherie"which was all over the radio at the time.I think this is the best Neal Schon ever really did stepping out from behind Santana and Journey.Almost every song on this album is prime for the most part.The guitar work is melodic in what Neal Schon is famous for,but has an aggressive tone you wont find from his Journey days,plus the rythym section chuggs along nicely.Its Like Motley Crue meets Journey Meets Lynch Mob.It Walks the line between Real AOR and Hair metal and pulls it off without the cheese.Too bad it was a song short or 5 years late.I'm surprised the radio even played them at the time when Pearl Jam and Nirvana and the like gave everyone who hated AOR rock Permission to start a witchhunt.Anyway,Its definitly some of the best of its time,I still listen to it today and holds up and rocksRead full review
