Restless Heart

Review: WHITESNAKE - Restless Heart (Deluxe Edition) In a world where hairspray was as abundant as talent in the 80s, Whitesnake stood out as the ultimate purveyors of big hair rock'n'roll. Fast forward to 2021, and they're back with a deluxe edition of their album "Restless Heart," promising us a trip down memory lane with a few new twists. The album kicks off with the classic power ballad "Don't Fade Away," with David Coverdale's signature vocals sending shivers down our spines. The production is slicker than a greased-up snake, making every guitar riff and drum beat shine like a beacon of nostalgia. Tracks like "All I Want All I Need" and "Too Many Tears" showcase the band's ability to tug at our heartstrings while simultaneously making us want to headbang like it's 1987. The deluxe edition adds in a few bonus tracks, including a live version of "Is This Love," which just makes us wish we were back in the heyday of arena rock concerts. While some may write off Whitesnake as a relic of the past, "Restless Heart" proves that they still have the chops to deliver a memorable rock album. So grab your leather jacket, tease up your hair, and crank up the volume on this deluxe edition - you won't be disappointed. Rating: 8.0 - Rock on, old school style.
