 Awesome 80's rock! June 6, 2008
Jason G. Fish (Victorville, CA USA)
Kindom Come's American break through CD. Very good music... strong vocals, amazing drums, and guitar riff heaven! The stand-out cuts are Get It On and What Love Should Be... but the whole CD is awesome. No filler tracks! I recommend this CD to any rock fan.

You have heard it before, this band really sounds like Led Zeppelin, so what ? This is a very good rock album, of course, if you like Led Zep, you should like it a lot. A good addition to your rock cd collection !
As close to a Zep ripoff as Great White.... February 18, 2007

I've been a fan of Lenny Wolf since the days of Stone Fury with Bruce Gowdy. Yes, Lenny's voice can sound similar to Robert Plant's, and yes, the songs are written in a blues-rock style (like Zep), but come on people, Kingdom Come is not a Zep clone. I've read review after review about Kingdom Come and I have one question for everyone who has ever compared them to Led Zeppelin - ever hear of a band called Great White?
This is a great 80's hard rock cd, one of the few cd's I have from that era that never seems to get old. The songs are catchy, the vocals are great, the guitar work is solid. The music is in the same vein as Cinderella, yet I think Lenny's vocals are easier to listen to than Tom Keifer's. Of all of the Kingdom Come albums, this is the best, followed closely by Hands Of Time.
Justly tagged as Led-Zeppelin clones... but, still a rocking good album December 20, 2006

THE BAND: Lenny Wolf (vocals), Danny Stag (guitar), Rick Steier (guitar), Johnny B. Frank (bass), James Kottak (drums & percussion).
THE DISC: (1988) 10 tracks clocking in at approximately 48 minutes. Included with the disc is a minimal 2-page foldout containing song titles/credits, band members, and one black & white band photo. Recorded at Little Mountain Studios, Vancouver, BC. Label - Polygram Records.
COMMENTS: "Led Zeppelin clones" as many will say... and, sure, I agree. But Kingdom Come wrote some damn catchy songs on their debut album - easily their best album. I wore this vinyl record out upon its release. Their most successful song to date "Get It On" was a slow & heavy, guitar shredding, voice squealing hit. "What Love Can Be" was the other song that made it to the airwaves - a slower, bluesy romantic heart-wrencher... sung perfectly by Wolf (Robert Plant would surely be proud). An acoustic moment in "Loving You" (a moderate rip off of Zeppelin's "Going To California" perhaps). And, my favorite track is the John Bonham thumper "17". If this doesn't rip Zeppelin off, nothing does. If you close your eyes though, other big-haired leather-clad bands from the 80's come to mind... Great White, Skid Row, Kix, Britny Fox, White Lion, etc. All good bands of the time with high-pitched singers... and Kingdom Come deserves to sit on the same shelf with them. Why some made a bigger dent than others surprises me. I thought Kingdom had what it took to be a player, but they quickly faded out of the spotlight (with that being said though, looking on their website I see singer Wolf went back to his native Germany and in the 90's reassembled - the band now has almost a dozen albums to their credit). Song writing, touring, management and promotion were solid... but my guess is the band's chemistry was lacking... the band was thrown together (members from Pennsylvania, Kentucky, California, and Germany). Remastered in 2004 with one bonus track - I've heard it and am not impressed with the sound quality at all... so I'm sticking with the original. A solid rock album - fits perfectly in the late 80's hair/glam genre. This Kingdom Come debut deserves to be in a loftier place than the bargain rack (4 stars).
