Razor & Tie's Monster Ballads provides a near-definitive portrait of the golden age of the power ballad, the late '80s/early '90s (henceforth known as the Bush era). Sure, a few of the 16 songs were recorded prior to the Bush era (such as Mike Reno and Anne Wilson's genre-defining "Almost Paradise" or Europe's "Carrie"), and there are a few ...
Sony Music's budget hard rock compilation Loud and Proud collects ten heavy hitters from between 1976 and 1991. The best thing about Loud and Proud is it's the easiest place to find the full-length album version of Ram Jam's "Black Betty," which was actually written by blues legend Huddie Ledbetter, aka Leadbelly. The edited single version, ...
Razor & Tie's Monsters of Rock is a good collection of hard rock and metal hits from the '80s, highlighted by Quiet Riot's "Cum on Feel the Noize," Great White's "Once Bitten, Twice Shy," Europe's "The Final Countdown," Ratt's "Round and Round," Warrant's "Cherry Pie," Poison's "Every Rose Has Its Thorn," Winger's "Seventeen," Twisted Sister's "We ...
The Best of Warrant collects all of the band's singles for Columbia, plus album tracks mostly culled from Dirty Rotten Filthy Stinking Rich and Cherry Pie. Since Warrant was primarily a singles band whose albums were often cluttered with unmemorable filler, this is the most consistent single disc in their catalog, even with the pointless remake of ...
Warrant became the stars they so desperately wanted to be with their 1989 debut, Dirty Rotten Filthy Stinking Rich. Perhaps not the biggest stars, since Guns n' Roses still ruled the roost in 1989, but Warrant nearly reached number one with "Heaven" and went platinum, which gave them the spoils of a rock star, from groupies and model girlfriends ...

Though Monster Ballads was an exceptionally strong collection of pop-metal and AOR power ballads, Monster Ballads, Vol. 2 features just as many genre-defining hits; in fact, it's hard to believe some of these numbers didn't make the first volume. Some of the songs are a little more obscure this time around, but surprisingly, most of them can hold ...
Kicking back to the days of Aqua Net hair and leather boots, VH1 celebrates the '80s with the 16-track compilation VH1: Big 80's Big Hair. Get heavy with songs from the Scorpions, Extreme, Twisted Sister, Winger, Dokken, Slaughter, Ratt, Poison, Whitesnake, and more! ~ MacKenzie Wilson, All Music Guide
Just as the Born Again title has been employed on dozens of albums by other artists -- including fellow metalheads Black Sabbath -- don't expect Warrant to stretch the boundaries anywhere else on this disc. You can expect them to deliver a superb set of hard rock songs that sound and feel better than most music from the '80s, however. "Dirty Jack" ...
Other bands were bigger, other bands were better, but no other group embodied the spirit of late-'80s hair metal as much as Warrant. They were slick and tuneful, cheerfully shallow and gussied up to look prettier than they actually are. It was the era in a nutshell -- proud to be all surface and no depth. That aesthetic is what drives their debut, ...
This various artists compilation from Platinum Disc flashes back to classic '80s cuts from Blue Oyster Cult, Billy Squier, Warrant, Quiet Riot, and more. ~ MacKenzie Wilson, All Music Guide
Monster Madness is an entertaining sampler of '80s-vintage hard rock and mainstream metal, featuring some of the genre's biggest pop hits of the decade. That means there's a preponderance of hair metal, but in this case, that's a good thing, because the songs included are consistently memorable and instantly recognizable. There's also a nice blend ...
Rock and generic pop dueled for supremacy on the charts in 1989, while R&B was completely shut out except for the light urban influence displayed by New Kids On The Block. Martika, Donny Osmond, and Debbie Gibson represented the non-threatening hit brigade, while Bad English, Tears For Fears, and Warrant checked in for the rockers, and The Bangles ...

The live record is a common gambit for hard rock bands, especially those past their commercial peak and recording for a new label. It's an easy way to get royalties for old songs and an easy way to get fans to buy a new record. It's also a sign of creative bankruptcy, but that doesn't matter if the record is good, which is the case with Warrant's ...
BMG Special Products' Rock This Way Live, Vol. 2 contains a selection of material licensed from CMC International, a label known for resuscitating the careers of forgotten hard rock, album rock and metal bands. Often, they would release albums of new material, supported with a couple of re-recorded hits, or live albums where the bands ran through ...
Platinum Disc's Classic Rock, Vol. 3 is a decent, budget-line, single disc highlighting album rock staples from the vaults of Sony/Epic. These tried-and-true radio hits combine late-'70s arena rock by Boston, the Doobie Brothers, and Ted Nugent, with hair metal bands and pop groups of the early '80s, including Loverboy, Warrant, and Firehouse. ...
