Review : Lix s/t (1988) After the breakup of the almighty Texas AOR legends Hobbit (a breakup which ultimately proved temporary), Paul "Turk" Henry simply had to keep rocking, hence the formation of this smokin' unit, which focused on a somewhat harder and heavier approach without ever losing melodic integrity. It's party time !! With these words the opening track is ushered in, taking us all back to a time when it was commercially acceptable to be upbeat and positive instead of shoegazing and moaning. Now on this album we're confronted with the very blueprint of melodic hard rock, delivered with style, stature and intent, not to mention consistency. It was a common trait of late 80's hard rock albums ro contain numerous worthless filler tracks, but I'm happy to report that every track here is a winner, including the 2 bonus cuts. On tracks like Out On The Street and Be What You Want To Be, shades of Whitesnake can be heard, while comparisons to Ratt could be made on Overdrive and Angelaine. Even the revered Dokken comes to mind during tracks like Want Me Love Me, Long Way Home and Guardians. In all these cases there's an important difference to note - instead of being copycats, Lix actually surpass the bands mentioned above with their intense grasp of melody and virtuoso musicianship. To best describe Paul Henry's vocals, imagine a combination of the very best of David Coverdale and Don Dokken, and even then I'm not sure I've done him sufficient justice. This album is going to have a profound effect on hard rock fans everywhere, especially those who loved the "hair rock" days but were dismayed by the inconsistent quality of most of those albums. I can think of no album to better sum up the spirit of 1988. Lee Bradfield

Being a fan of the 80´s this gem is finally in my possession. This Cd brings you straight back to the days of glory and puts a smile on your face that lasts! Only bad thing abt it are the "rough cuts" between tracks. Mind your speakers folks!

This album brings that special spirit of the 80s back to life! Surely, Lix should not be compared to that mega-selling, hyped groups of that age (you know who I mean...), but their music is true, honest - and pure fun! So, give them a chance and listen to such great songs like "Out on the streets" or "Guardians" and feel young again!
