What The Critics Say
At first one hopes that this is actually a new Cinderella release recorded on a recent reunion tour, but it's easy to get misled by the packaging. This 2004 live release is actually a reissue of 1999's Live Greatest Hits. Regardless of this fact, the band sounds just as tight here as on Night Songs. Tom Keifer's menacing vocal assault is still just as tearing as it was all those years ago, when Night Songs was the metal album du jour on MTV. In Concert is a fair and balanced career-long retrospective that will equally please die-hard fans and those just looking to reminisce with some fun about one of hair metal's most straight-ahead super rock stars. ~ Rob Theakston, All Music Guide
What The Critics Say
Cinderella returned from their self-imposed exile in late 1994 with Still Climbing, a gritty record that shows them building upon the bluesy hard rock of Heartbreak Station. Arguably, it boasts a more consistent song selection and tougher sound than Heartbreak, yet radio and MTV were resistant to the band's classic good-times-and-hard-rockin' attitude and the record disappeared soon after its release. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide
What The Critics Say
After successful albums that effectively followed contemporary hard rock trends, Cinderella reached back into the Stones and Aerosmith songbooks and created a sneering, raunchy hard rock album that was artistically their finest moment, even if it didn't reach the same commercial heights as its predecessors. But the sales figures don't matter (it only sold a million copies); Heartbreak Station shows that Cinderella has more genuine rock & roll grit than most of the metal bands of the late '80s. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide
What The Critics Say
Long Cold Winter is a transition album for Cinderella, mixing pop-metal tunes with better hooks than those on Night Songs with a newfound penchant for gritty blues-rock à la the Stones or Aerosmith. The ballads -- the grandiose "Don't Know What You Got (Till It's Gone)" and the excellent, lower-key "Coming Home" -- are what made the album Cinderella's most commercially successful, but the effective combination of pop hooks and tough, swaggering rock & roll on songs like "Gypsy Road" and "Fallin' Apart at the Seams" prevents the album from becoming simply a vehicle for hit singles and keeps it interesting. Not all of the songs are memorable, but most of them are. ~ Steve Huey, All Music Guide
What The Critics Say
Jon Bon Jovi discovered this Pennsylvania band, whose album is filled with the kind of catchy pop-metal his own band plays. Produced by Andy Johns. ~ John Book, All Music Guide
