Mmmm, German metal the way it's supposed to be.......2006-01-11
Riding the Storm, Renegade - this is great metal. Sure by side two (in the old terminology) some of it gets a little unhinged but Bad to the Bone which was the lead single is a bit hard to go past. And don't forget to read the lyrics too as with this band they can sometimes add to the fun.
Running Wild didn't make many good albums - but don't let anybody tell you they didn't make at least one. And here it is!
An essential German metal release.......2004-11-18
A piece of R.W history........2001-08-14
This is Running Wild the year 1989 before the formation got their modern/sensational line up during the period 1992-98. Back in 89' there was ( besides the frontman Rolf ) ; Jens Becker , Majk Moti and drummer Ian Finlay.
The songs are not as complex and fast as R.W:s later albums ( Masquerade,BHI or Pile of Skulls ) and the production is not 100 % flawless , but on the other side not bad either. Production and mixing are tending to sound a little hollow and I am sure that the album would have got a radical improvement regarding clarity and bass depth if Rolf Kasparek himself would arrange the production - which is the case on the later R.W albums.
Those of you who have heard R.W:s wellknown speedmetal-like drum-sound from the abovementioned albums should be warned ; the drumming by Ian Finlay on DOG is good - but not anywhere near the wizardry of Jörg Michaels thunderspeeding drum attacks on Masquerade or BHI.
In spite of these factors DOG is still a tremendous R.W-album ; The catchiness and melodic elements of these songs will bring great enjoyment to all you who appreciate european powermetal. Great riffing and singing throughout ( almost ) all the record. The only objections from my point of view would be the tracks " Renegade " and " Bad to the Boone ". Albeit having interesting lyrics both are some notches below R.W:s capabilities in terms of melody and energy. On DOG you also will find R.W:s most wellknown singalong anthem ever - " Riding the Storm ". This particular tune will literally take you by storm ( no joke intended ). When the pre-corus and refrain comes blasting you will feel a uncontrolable urge to raise your voice in participation. Other hightlights include " Running Blood " , " Marooned " ( mighty man bass choir will make you shiver ..... ) and the epic arrangement of " Battle of Waterloo ". Rolfs voice is enjoyable - even if his singing has improved notably during the R.W-albums of the 90's. The backing vocals are also very well sung and powerful , especially on " Riding.... " and "Marooned". As the songtitles indicate ; this is another of R.W:s pirate-lyrical compositions describing naval battles, rumdrinking seadogs and flaghoisting shipmates. Those of us who listen to R.W for that reason will love it. If you by chance feel that songtexts should reflect love relations, or party hedonism you should avoid this exciting CD and buy something less dramatical ( preferrably the horrid music from Poison or Aerosmith ) By this I must oppose against the older review below. To say that the lyrics are less than serious is not correct , they are very serious. This is proven by the fact that R.W have not left their "sea romancing" style beginning on their older albums from the late 80's and up until today ( with exception of their latest CD " The Victory " - which is a rather untypical R.W performance in many ways and has created a lot of mixed emotions among the older fans. )
If someone really think that sentimental texts belongs within the tradition of power metal ( which they do not ! ) he would disagree with me. Otherwise there is no choice but to commend Rolf and his squad for this impressing effort. Many of the songs are clearly designed in the vein of typical R.W powermetal with a ability to invade your head and memory because of their incredible catchiness and melodic drive. If you have not heard R.W before and really want to play it safe I would recommed you to begin your acquaintance with the hanseatic pirates ( they hail from the north german town Hamburg ) in Running Wild through their creme de la creme / masterpieces : Pile of Skulls or Masquerade. That does not mean that DOG is anything other than great - it is regardless a very wellwritten and pleasing piece of power metal in the classical german style.

One of the best later albums........2006-12-22
The album opens with the torrential title track. In 2006, the production does sound a tiny bit off--Harper has favored a plugged-in acoustic sound since the mid 80's. I really prefer the sound of a miked acoustic since it sounds more natural, and the plugged-in sound bothered me at first, but has since really grown on me (probably because the writing is so good). Roy's equally-talented son Nick backs him up with some wicked lead guitar. This song has some great energy and rocks pretty hard for an acoustic-powered tune. I really love the poem excerpt in the middle. "The War Came Home Tonight" has some great political commentary that is oh-so relevant today. "Duty" is probably my very favorite of Roy's spoken-word pieces--compelling art. "Next to Me" has some awesome fingerstyle guitar that we've all come to expect from Roy.
"The Tallest Tree" and "Miles Remains," both tribute songs, are two of the album's most classic tracks. "Tree" was written for Chico Mendes, the Brazilian environmental activist. It's a great, positive, upbeat number with some great acoustic lead by Nick. "Miles Remains" is a genre-defying tribute to Miles Davis. Spacey and mostly instrumental, "Miles Remains" is a live favorite and a great use of space as music. "The Fourth World" is my favorite track of the album. It's a scathing indictment of the powers that be that's pulled off as only Roy could. Nick's acoustic lead cuts like a blade, and Roy's lyrics and fiery singing cut even deeper. The version on this CD includes better drums. Even though it's acoustic, this song rocks, and it rocks hard. "One More Tomorrow" is one of the most heartfelt and sad songs on the album, really summing up Roy's emotional state in a touching way.
A couple tracks don't stand as far out as others--"Evening Star" and "On Summer Day" aren't as musically interesting (although the lyrics are typically strong). "The Methane Zone" is really the only track that's not that great--the guitar sound just doesn't fit, and the lyric isn't quite as funny as many of Roy's earlier intentional throwaways.
Overall, though, this album is another Roy Harper classic. The singing is heartfelt and unique, the backing is tight and sometimes blazing, and the poetic writing is beautiful and worthy of much analysis. [...]This album is highly recommended as one of his best 90's recordings alongside Once. Hope you check it out!
