Running Wild Albums (15)
What The Critics Say
Even before Running Wild was dropped from the roster of Noise, it was obvious that their time was up. Black Hand Inn and Masquerade were both big failures and being faithful to their genre didn't really help the fact that Running Wild repeated themselves for ten years. It seems that Running Wild still haven't learned their lesson; however, The Rivalry is surely a treat to their fans. As a whole it isn't much, but, as usual with Running Wild, The Rivalry has a few standout tracks. The title track, "Kiss of Death," and a few others make sure that an old fan of Running Wild will wait for more. ~ Antti J. Ravelin, All Music Guide
What The Critics Say
Death or Glory found Running Wild continuing to hone its songwriting chops, and although it's still somewhat inconsistent, the best moments prove that the band's theatrical pirate image was not the only thing they had going for them. ~ Steve Huey, All Music Guide
What The Critics Say
One of Running Wild's strongest efforts, Pile of Skulls combines the group's trademark pirate subject matter with a unifying concept about corruption and abuse of power through history. It's perhaps a bit too ambitious, but there are enough strong songs here to justify the approach. ~ Steve Huey, All Music Guide
What The Critics Say
Blazon Stone solidified Running Wild's cult following with another heavy dose of pirate imagery and enough strong riffs to put the record over, although some songs can be a bit repetitive or unmemorable. ~ Steve Huey, All Music Guide
