专辑介绍
by Ed Rivadavia
Though it failed to equal the mostly novelty-based sales of Loudness' first internationally distributed album Thunder in the East, Lightning Strikes had handily managed to translate the band's Japanese-bred heavy metal into a more easily digestible recipe for Western audiences. Because this progress didn't translate into sales, however, their record company, Atco, felt the need to force the band's hand toward an even more pop-metal direction when it came time to record their next effort. Yet, while producer Max Norman's work on Lightning Strikes had merely served to trim the excess fat from Loudness' rather busy compositions, new hire Andy Johns would show no such restraint in his mission to completely disfigure the band's sound. 1987's misguided Hurricane Eyes was the result. With their generic riffs and big, dumb choruses, formulaic singles like &This Lonely Heart& and &Take Me Home& push the envelope of pop-metal overkill with tragic consequences, while full-throttle thrashers topped with cold-war lyrics like &S.D.I.& and &Strike of the Sword& seem equally desperate in their attempt to swing the balance in the opposite direction. To make matters worse, former Angel keyboard player Gregg Giuffria looms over the proceedings like a true &angel of crap,& lending a dubious helping hand to Loudness' musical act of hara-kiri. Needless to say, record buyers could have cared less about all this behind-the-scenes maneuvering, and the record was a resounding flop. After supplanting founding vocalist Minoru Niihara with American singer Mike Vescera in a final bid for Western acceptance, Loudness would eventually limp back into the rising sun, never to return.

- @⚈(哈哈哈哈哈哈哈)：87年8月、名制作人Eddie Kramer制作的专辑「Hurricane Eyes」发行。「Thunder In The East」之後都只有以英文歌词演唱的Loudness为了日本歌迷，这张专辑特别再以日文版发行。88年5月，针对日本乐迷口味的迷你专辑「Jealousy」发行，表示已跻身世界级乐团的Loudness并未忘记日本的乐迷。
- @Music Embas：So Lonely 仔细听 是 日文的 并不是常见的英语版本
