Spellbound
represented an amazing evolution for the
Tygers of Pan Tang
, especially considering that it was released a mere six months after their very rough and unpolished debut. Simply put, the addition of versatile new vocalist
Jon Deverill
and brilliant guitarist
John Sykes
(yes --
that
John Sykes
) helped improve the
Tygers
' musicianship and songwriting abilities to no end, allowing producer
Chris Tsangarides
to exact an infinitely superior (if not as innocently charming) performance of the band from a technical perspective. With a muscular brand of
metal
lying somewhere between
Def Leppard
and
Saxon
, the revitalized group had all of their bases covered and only
MCA
(frequently referred to as the "Musical Cemetery of America" in those days) could possibly squander the potential of memorable numbers like
"Gangland,"
"Take It,"
and the especially hook-laden
"The Story So Far."
Other highlights include
"Mirror,"
one of the band's best power
ballads
, and
"Don't Stop By,"
where
Sykes
takes the first great solo of his career, showcasing both the stunning technical mastery and fluid musicality which would become his trademarks. And despite containing the odd clunker, like the pointless instrumental interlude
"Minotaur"
and the rather one-dimensional
"Silver and Gold,"
Spellbound
still ranks as one of the more consistent and impressive early albums of the
New Wave of British Heavy Metal
, and should satisfy all first-time customers. [The 2006 U.K. edition includes bonus tracks.] ~ Ed Rivadavia, All Music Guide
