On Under Lock And Key Dokken broadened their sound an admittedly tiny bit, offering both songs that matched if not even exceeded the heaviness of Tooth And Nail and softer, obviously chart-leering ballads. The majority however is still made up by the familiar mid-paced energetic rockers one has come to expect and hope for and if anything on Under Lock And Key sounds different, it's probably the slicker production rather than the song writing. Whether that is a detriment is ultimately subject to the listeners personal preference and there is not too much of a point complaining as the new production did manage to fully break the band into the mainstream along with some crucial and, if one can believe the interviews, unwilling "adjustments" to the band's image.

At the late 80's I knew this band and this album really blew up my head...Dokken was great in those days.

This is pretty cheesy stuff but I like the melodies and the catchiness of it all. Album cover has got to be one of the worst in history. Look at the fashion on display. What were they thinking?
