| I am glad that there are a few bands that I like and still play in smaller venues. They probably deserve world-wide fame, but this permits a few hundred patrons the benefits of a class A song writing/perfomance display. If in a perfect world, Blaze would be ever-so-big as BBKing, SRV, Clapton, Page, GBenson, Satch, Via, Rhodes or Malmstein. I have been around music/gigs for 20 years, and if these guys offered me a job with them...!

| A great album that you can you find easily and inexpensively. Solid in all departments, with highlights being 'Body Double', 'See You Someday' and a version of Badfinger's 'No Matter What' that actually improves on the original!

| This album is one of the greatest one I've ever listened! I've been crashed on listening Hard Rock since 1984 and still now 'Poetic Justice' is my best top 5 album in my 700 CD's collections! I really want the members of LILLIAN AXE to keep hanging on and continue to make a lot of fantastic albums. Come back to Japan and play again!!!

| Absolutely in the top 10 melodic hard rock albums of all time. More popular artist should WISH they could write songs as good as Steve Blaze!! One of the best guitarists ever and I hope you all get to meet him because he is one of the most friendly, gracious, appreciative of his fans musician I have ver met. One of the good guys in rock. In 2002 the riff to 'True Believer' still knocks me out!!

| This is Lillian's best! The only thing about this album that bumbed me out was the fact that Gene barnett is on it. You see, I like Gene and I think he is a great drummer. The thing about it is, once I found out he left Dirty Looks, I was disapointed. Oh well, This is still Lillian's best and not because of Gene, but because it just is.

| Also, after this album Gene was no longer with Lillian Axe. Does anyone know why? I know that right now he is a drum teacher and has his own website, but I never found out why he left L. Axe?

| Lillian Axe proves that is a really huge band, maybe not chartwise or in terms of radio airplay but in our hearts. Can you find me any song from this album that is slightly worse than the other? Lillian Axe is a melodic hard rock band that has it's own style, it's own vibe. Ron Taylor has a unique voice, the riffs on this album is 100 0llian Axe, the choruses, the bridges, everything works fantastic under an extraordinary chemistry. Words are very unnecessary...

| I respect your point of view manos, but songs like Body Double or No Matter What has not the quality i hoped from this band, i have to say that this cd has good songs like Innocence or Mercy, but this one stands in a lower level in comparison with Love + War and Psycho CD's this one only is not as god as i expected. The best songs are in Love and War and the best crafted cd is Psycho, from this Lillian is only a rock band and with the others is a Super band. 6/10 Contact:westofsunset@hotmail.com

| definively, after 'Love+war', it's Lillian Axe's consagration. Melodies, brilliant guitars, delightful songs and a special charisma in the sound of Blaze's guitar which makes him one of the greatest (but unknown for the majority) guitar heroes from the last 20 years. Imprescindible for any metal fan.

| The easiest Lillian Axe cd to buy, might be their weakest effort. This had some promotion with their cover of 'No Matter What', but that was a terrible choice as a single. 'True Believer' had hit written all over it. Oh well, everyone elses loss is our gain. 7/10

| What?? Weakest effort? No Matter What a BAD single?? You're obviously delerious. This is their BEST album. No Matter What is the most commercial song on it. It came out in 1992 so it had no chance. INNOCENCE is my favorite hard rock tune of all time. The opening guitar riffs blow me away every time. The mix of acoustics in the middle and the end make it unique. 10+/10 Get this album if you don't already have it people!

| I know alot of people appreciate this CD, as do I because I love all Lillian Axe CDs, but why do I appear to be the only one to love the track 'Dyin' to live'? As far as I'm concerned, it's my favourite Lillian Axe song but I never see anyone else mention it. Damn these alien antennas on my head! Otherwise, this is another excellent, solid melodic hard rock CD. 'Body double', 'No matter what' and 'Living in the grey' are other faves of mine.
|
| From: Kip |
Date: August 29, 2004 at 3:21 |
| Dyin' To Live is their second best song that combines acoustics and electric riffs. Mercy is their best. Innocence, Body Double, True Believer, and No Matter What round out the 7 awesome rock tunes and See You Someday is a very commercial sounding ballad that should have been a hit. She's My Salvation is well above average for any melodic rock standard and yet it's the 9th best song (out of 10) on the album. The reason no one agrees on whats the best is because they are all so damn good! 10/10!

| Even though I picked this up years ago used for $4, I was really disappointed...I guess the standards established by Love+War were set too high. But now when I listen to it, I think I never appreciated it. I always loved 'Body Double', 'Mercy', and 'Salvation', but I've also grown to like everything else except 'True Believer' and 'No Matter What'...but give me time, and I might like them too. While not perfection, a very solid CD that grew on me.

| This is one of my all time favorites. Have had to replace this one in my collection a couple of times. This album has decent production and good musicianship. Steve Blaze's guitar work is top notch on this one. In my opinion this is one of their best offerings, don't get me wrong I think Love and War is also up there, it just suffers from lower quality production. This is evident in the sound of the drums. Poetic Justice is a must for every collecter, I give it a 8.5 out of 10.

| A true hard rock classic. This album shows their collective and individual talents at their peak. Stevie Blaze is one of the most underrated songwriters in rock music. Also, I think it is unfair to lump them in with the hair rock genre. They have more talent in their pinky fingers than most of the hair rock members have in their whole bodies. These guys should have been MEGA huge. Anyway, my personal faves from this album are See You Someday, Living In The Grey, Dyin To Live and Mercy.

| There were 2 good songs on this cd and one of them is a cover. There is a reason a lot of 80's hair bands didn't make it big. It's because they couldn't write a whole album of good songs. The bands that did make big could write a bunch of good songs for multiple albums. Don't kid yourselves.

| Yes, like Clayton77 said - if you like melodic hard rock then this is the CD for you. I bought this around 6 years ago and balked at first about buying it as I really never heard any of this bands music (the cover also somewhat turned me off); I eventually bought it and was surprised how good these guys were/are. This CD has plenty of hooks and catchy good songs. Great vocals and musicianship; top class; believe me, you will not be disappointed with this one!! 8.75/10

| You always get the feeling in rock circles that you are sposed to consider Love & War to be the best Lillian Axe album, with the self titled debut being second, but for me, this is their best album. I actually wasnt that impressed with the first two. Yes there were some great tracks on them, but as a whole, they just didnt hook me. This album though, I found myself playing over and over all the time when I first bought it. Yes, No matter what, is a cover version, but this is by far the best I have heard. There are even artists I like more than Lillian Axe who have not come close to matching their version. Of course, one good cover version does not a great album make, which is fine as the rest of this album is awesome. Songs like Innocence, True believe, See you someday & Living in the grey are brilliant tracks, but then again, so are the other songs. Love & War will always remain the album everyone raves about, but I am quite happy to have this one to myself.

| Comparing this 3rd effort to "Love and War" is like comparing a dandelion to a rose; sure, both have their merits, but nobody's paying $40 for a dozen dandelions. So, in comparison to "Love and War," this just doesn't stack up, with too many fillers creeping into the mix. But taken on its own terms, this is a very good hard rock album, and even subpar Lillian Axe is better than 85% of what most bands put out as their best effort.

| Another superb Lillian Axe release and is just as great as the first two. While the first will always be my favourite, I think this one is slightly better than the second as it has less filler. True Believer, Dyin' To Live and Living in the Grey are my picks off this one. My only complaint is the instrumental Digital Dreams which is horrid and unnecessary. I love instrumentals but this track has no melody and is just noise as far as I'm concerned.

Some essential Lillian Axe here, took me eons to find this new again & finally landed in the collection again (don't lend yer stuff peoples  If yer looking, Dyin' To Live is Lillian perfection, that song is carried throughout all the Lillian releases to date & could serve new listeners well if exploring the band. Elsewhere tunes such as True Believer & Innocence continue the pop sensibilities with a twist & Body Double is the most naff the guys get here but tolerable it is. But it's the little extra depth & emotion found in class numbers such as Living In The Gray, Promised Land or Mercy that truly reach deep as do the handful of ballads on offer, See You Someday incredibly tasty. 1 cover song notwithstanding, Lillian Axe were a sound of their own & Poetic Justice was their first complete album to deliver without missing a step. Psycho still wins outright but ya gotta cave & purchase Poetic Justice if even remotely keen on this band - Rating 8.5
