| This is a series of demos for the band's third album which never was. The production is extremely good for demos, and if you didn't know better, you would have thought the band was just exploring a more stripped-down sound. There is no "Winter's Call" or "Show Me The Way" on this album. None of the songs are exactly "radio-friendly," but the album does rock. It's a pure AOR effort and a rare treat to hear a band before big production or being begged by the label to produce singles.

| The album that never was finally get's a release in demo form and sounds the better for it! Some of these songs made it onto the RED SUN RED Sessions. (R.I.P Ray)

| "DUSK is my personel fav' out of the BADLANDS CD'S. It's not as Heavy as the 1st two yet it's just as RAW! DUSK is an Healing/Mystic CD to me GILLEN'S hypnotic Vocals Soars in perfect balance w/the Solid Sultry Grooves of LEE'S Guitars. Soothing yet very 'TUFF has an Desert feel to it...Entranceing! Another MASTERPIECE. I like BADLANDS style, their GROOVE has an Southern BAYOU 'base root' to it w/an ALLIGATOR Twist! SMILE. I'm anxiously awaiting LEE'S up & coming CD*Projects w/WA & BP!!!-shadow

| For a bunch of demos, the sound is pretty damn good. This album seems to have an overall darker tone than the first two, and some of the songs are absolute killer. But most of it sounds like filler that may have never made it onto what would've been their 3rd album.

| Hey, it's not their best, no doubt but it's essentially unproduced. It's like a live studio recording. I appreciate it for the raw feeling they put into it, and the fact that it's the last time they'll release anything with that lineup. Brings a tear to my eye, it does...

| If I could play guitar 1/10 as good as Jake E. Lee I would be a guitar god by todays standards. If you have any business even looking up bands on this site you should love this, and all Badlands albums. Period.

| I think Jake tried to be himself when he played on a Badlands record. When he played for Ozzy on "Bark at the Moon" it had a Randy Rhodes feel to it. I saw him with Ozzy in Nashville and his guitar was out of tune the whole concert and I still didn't care...the guy's talented. R.I.P. Ray.

| I liked this album instantly and enthusiastically more than Voodoo Highway, and only just less than the debut. The album was recorded live in the studio with no overdubs. It still sounds better than some big production albums out there. Gillen sounds great, his voice has never had a bad day and Jake E Lee's guitar playing is first class as expected. "Dusk" is a fabulous return to the more rock sound of the debut.

| 'walking attitude' gets me going every time! A great album, and a complete one at that! I think 'attitude' is probably the best song they ever did. RIP, Ray.

| This is an incredible album. They really hit the mark with this one. It is absolutley as good as their first record,probably more bluesy, but the songs are F.ckin awesome. Sun red sun, the river and dog are my fav's. But I don't see how any badlands fan, or hard rock fan could not love this record. Ps I you want to here an incredible blues player go www.wesjeans.com and find out where you can see wes live you won't be sorry.

| This collection of demos is worth alone 95% of hard rock albums that came out in the past 10 years. An absolute must.

| I'd rate this album 4 out of 5! This is a great album despite the fact that it was 'actuall' a bunch of demos ;-) But I dig this album at the first time I heard it. Damn good, oops...GREAT album. Especially I love the sound of guitar Jake E Lee had in there. Ray's vocals were not at his best bet it fits great in there. Hard to pick which one is my fave but "Healer" is surely one of them :-) This one is worth buying if you could get it...

GOOD CD 87/100 DARKER AND ORGANIC than the others albums ! As always RAY GILLEN is SHINNING & you can feel his great talent ! You can find some of this songs in various CD :GREG CHAISSON's"it's about time" with one of the best song "the river" Maybe you find it not easy at first but it's a really good and a great HYPNOTIC/SHAMANIC experience

| Gillen was a good guitarist yes but thsi album does less for me than the first two. They seemed to get progressively worse. It is better than many bands but just doesn't do anything for me after having the first two. 70/100

| As everybody else has pointed out, these were demos recorded between 1992 and 1993, and for demos they sound brilliant. I've heard that they were recorded entirely live without any tricks or overdubs; Ray Gillen hadn't even finalised his lyrics before they went into the studio, to the point where he ended up improvising a lot of them behind the microphone!
