Customer Reviews:

One of the best hard rock bands of all time.......2007-05-29

Words don't do justice. If you grew up in the eightees appreciating bands like Judas Priest - this is a must! Nothing weak at all on this album. Very much a desert island disk for me.

Good Shit.......2007-01-27

Compared to Racer X's first album, Second Heat takes some of its focus away from Paul Gilbert's lightning-fast guitar playing capabilities and tries to showcase the band's abilites as a whole. Jeff Smith's singing is a little more tolerable on this record than the first, sometimes its even good. The song "Scarified" pretty much fits all of the noodling I can handle for a whole album into three minutes. Also includes a solid cover of "Heart of A Lion" by Judas Priest.

Best RX Album!.......2004-11-18

Let me start off by saying that there are a few faults with the cd. It could have been made better on the production side, but the playing on this record will make you forget that any problems ever existed.

The Album kicks off with Sacrifice. With Paul and BRUCE!'s intense licks, the song erupts out of your speakers in no time. The intro to Gone to Far totally hooks you into the song, and the great drums of Scott catch you into a head banging frenzy. Next comes the infamous Scarified! If you play guitar, you have to learn this song. Forget Eruption, forget Black Star, this is the song to learn to scare all of your friends! This will make them bown down to the intense licks of Paul Gilbert. Even bass players will appreciate John's work on this...try to play it..I dare you ;)

Lets not forget that there are two guitar players on this album now. Bruce jumped on board and trades licks with Paul on many of the songs, its one of the greatest albums I own to date.

I could never say enough about the next few songs, Sunlit Nights, Hammer Away, and Hear of a Lion. These songs I feel embrace some of the best music written in the 80's. You can't help yourself but singing along to Heart of a Lion in the car! Dont hold back! Jeff's vocals come through on these songs very well. As mentioned before, I wish it was better on the production side. But once you catch the hooks of the songs, you forget about all of that. If you really want to hear these songs PERFECTLY, then purchase Extreme Volume 2., and listen to them play some of these songs live! It's awesome!

I can not say enough about this album. BUY IT NOW! You will not regret it at all. If you love 80's rock/metal, intense guitar work, BUY THIS!

Still One Of The Greatest!!!!.......2004-06-20

I will allways stick up for Racer-X
They are and allways will be one of the greatest metal bands around. . . .Freakin Awesome! ! !

One of the 10 greatest heavy metal CDs ever created.......2004-04-17

Second Heat by Racer X is undoubtedly one of the ten greatest metal CDs of all time. It is arguably the best. Incredible song writing, incredible musicianship, and an extremely tight band. In many ways this CD is the pinnacle of heavy metal. Perhaps only Iron Maiden achieves greater heights.

Their debut CD was decent, but the songwriting was so so and only featured Paul on guitar. The addition of Bruce on guitar and amazing song writing transformed this band into one of the greatest.

Unfortunately Paul Gilbert selfishly decided to leave the band for "bigger and better things". As a result he killed what would have gone on to be the greatest heavy metal band of all time.
