David Coverdale built
Whitesnake's commercial breakthrough on a collection of loud, polished hard rockers, plus the band's best set of
pop hooks. The
Led Zeppelin-ish "Still of the Night" offered headbanger appeal, but it was the big chorus of
"Here I Go Again" -- one of the very small number of non-power
ballad '80s
hard rock singles to actually top the
pop charts -- and the quiet
ballad "Is This Love" that really sold the album in spades. The rest of the album generally holds interest as well, and it's easily the band's best.
