This is a compilation CD, you can buy with your eyes closed. BUFFALO plays kick ass NWOBHM, and this sixty-five minutes CD is full with that. Sometimes, the recordings are raw and unpolished, like in “The Other Side Of You”. But that has got its charm as well, in my opinion. All songs are full with biting axework, breathing the sound of the eighties. While a song like “Why In Hell” was actually written in the nineties. It’s great to hear songs like “In The Flesh”, “Take It To The Limit”and “Backs To The Wall”, which were on the five track cassette that was released on Heavy Metal Records. It’s a shame though, they left out “Detroit Motor City” and the SPENCER DAVIS GROUP cover “Gimme Some Lovin”. What we get as a bonus is the video for “Why In Hell”, which I mentioned earlier, was recorded in the nineties. BUFFALO is a good example of what NWOBHM is all about. And despite some of these songs were new to me, I sing along with them quite easily, because of their catchiness. Add to that the perfect instrumental breaks and you are listening to a CD, which is full of nostalgia. Who dares to put this band on their festival bill??

I love the guitar playing in this CD and also fell in love with the song Mother. Thank you to Stefan Riermaier for releasing it!
