Forget the experimental and disappointing 'Smoke This', the 'Mob' are back, this time with a full album's worth of 'Lynch Mob' and 'Dokken' classic tracks re-recorded. 'Robert Mason' has returned to bless the album with his wonderful vocals and is supported by original bassist 'Anthony Esposito', while 'Michael "Fro" Frowein' provides the thunder on the drum kit. The master himself 'George Lynch' is certainly back with vengeance as he threads his joyous guitar licks all over this album.

The million dollar question you all ask is, are these reworked tracks better than the originals. Obviously it's down to personal opinion but on the whole I would have to say no. Every track included has a thicker, heavier approach and while it works well on some of the songs, the crispness of the originals is lost. Despite this there are still some cracking renditions that are on the whole superbly execute and cleverly reworked. Unlike some bands that re-record their back catalogue, 'Lynch Mob' haven't just gone into the studio blind and just gone through the motions, the majority of the tracks have been redeveloped, expanded and modify were they thought necessary.

The album explodes with a blistering rendition of 'Tooth and Nail', this really is fast and furious with guitaring more than equal to that of the 'Dokken' classic. 'Robert Mason' while very different to 'Don Dokken' works the lyrics excellently. Although not as harmonious as the original, this is still a cracking version that sets the album up nicely- Superb. 'Tangled in the Web' continues in fine form, with a nastier, raw approach and while not as sweetly flowing as the version on 'Lynch Mob's' second album, it's still another quality track. Next up is the grooving gem 'All I Want' and although this is darker in approach, the all important head swaying rhythm is thankfully still present as are 'George Lynch's' touches of genius. 'Kiss of Death' has also undergone modernisation and while it's a decent cut, in my opinion it doesn't better the 'Dokken' masterpiece, for me the freshness is lost and lacks the soaring vocals and harmonies. 'She's so Evil but she's Mine' stays pretty similar to the original just with some reworking of the fret work, so as you would expect it comes off well. 'Relax' is the only song I'm not familiar with, I hear it's an adaptation of 'Relaxin' in the Land of Az' from the much criticised 'Smoke This' album. Surprisingly this is a very good song of which 'Robert Mason' is the star, he sounds much more melodic here and really owns the track, the rhythm work while not as pummelling as most is quality and overall makes for another choice track. If I had to pick the weakest number It would be 'Cold is the Heart' and surprisingly for the vocals, while the instrumentation is excellent as is the original, 'Robert Mason' sounds off key and lacks the melody he displayed previously. 'Breaking the Chains' is probably the most reworked cut, in places it's hardly recognisable as the 'Dokken' classic, although it comes off pretty well in places, it's too thick and laboured for my liking. Most improved track is probably 'When Darkness Calls', the original was a treat and this version is even better, musically it stays pretty similar, but with a longer, better and thoroughly shredding instrumental. 'Robert Mason' turns in a strong performance and sound more melodic here than on some other cuts- Excellent. 'River of Love' is next and sustains a murkier, thick approach, regrettably I enjoyed the smoother free flowing approach of the original which this lacks, overlooking this it's still a quality rendition which features more of 'George's' sweet fret work. 'Wicked Sensation' the title track to the debut album is next and although I prefer the 1990 version this is another fine attempt full of chugging rhythm and gutsy vocals, while they don't surpass those of 'Omi Logan', 'Robert Mason' sounds on very good form. It's back to the 'Dokken' classics with 'Paris is Burning', and while I prefer 'Don Dokken's' vocals behind this song, it again works very well, the fret work has been further developed which gives the song much more crunch. I am a little disappointed with the closing track 'The Secret', it was my favourite cut from 'Lynch Mob', here they have lost the sweet flowing melody displayed on that version and the serious yet superb lyrics aren't sung with the passion 'Robert Mason' displayed first time around.

While the majority of tracks don't better the originals, there are still some superb cuts that make 'REvolution' excellent listening, which I recommend to any 'Lynch Mob' and 'Dokken' fans.
