Warthur Sporting badass cover art that doesn't really relate to the actual thematic content of the album *at all* - they'd pander to their fantasy cover art a bit more in future, but never make a big priority of it - Molly Hatchet's debut album is a decent enough southern rock album. Think less Allman Brothers and more the rawest, dirtiest cuts of Lynyrd Skynyrd, then roughen and dirty them up a bit more, and you'd be getting towards the right ballpark. Benefiting from a big sound thanks to their unusual triple lead guitar lineup, the band sound pretty solid here, and the late Danny Joe Brown does a fine job on lead vocals.

1967/ 1976 Hmmm... This album sounds extremely good. Over the years, there are those who lose enamel and who gains in power and magic. Molly Hatchet, with the help of Kalle Trapp and Charlie Bauerfeind (thus recording at the legendary Karo Studios, Brackel, Germany) have made ​​the center. Southern Hard Rock powerful as an album of Blind Guardian (because who oversaw production and mixing?). However, "Silent Reign Of Heroes" is a really good album, released in full Classic Rock Revival, which already has made the cover 90% of the charm. And the music? "Heartbreak Station" of Cinderella is a great album to approach, if I indicate a similar albums I know. However, certain situations are very Boogie and others recall the 80's more than many albums of the 80's! "Blue Thunder" sounds like a composition of Bonfire, a band that at the time of the Classic Metal Revival was very reevaluated. The ballad "Just Remember (You're The Only One)" is a perfect mix between Bon Jovi and Journey. Do not expect, however, a revolutionary album because the rest is 100% Molly Hatchet Southern Hard Rock!

If you love the Rock of the 80's and the Hard Rock or the POP Power of the 80's... This is the perfect album. But, after all, what do you expect from a band fashions has never ridden and that in 1998 represented the Classic Metal made ​​in USA made ​​from authentic dinosaurs?

P.s.: Great is the acoustic version of the Molly Hatchet evergreen "Fall Of The Peacemaker" that close the album.

1967/ 1976 Interesting compilation for one of the bands more Metal in Southern Rock movement. The first two compositions ("Shake The House Down" and "Ragtop Deluxe") are new. What I like about "Greatest Hits" is that Molly Hatchet is a very granitic band, who managed to debut with a style remained unchanged over the years. Listening to "greastest Hits" seems, therefore, to listen to an album and not a collection of canzoniprese from different albums (including live). This is good? You might say no. Instead in this case is a merit. In my view, the advantage is that Molly Hatchet have the ability to change songs in concerts without change the feeling and emotions. And, in the studio album, not tired album after album.

I will not go further. Not needed. "Greatest Hits" is a great start today. A compilation with the rotten inside. And with full Southern spirit.
