5 out of 5 stars One Bad-A## Album (Do we still call it that?).......2007-07-17

It's somehow weird to call something an 'album'. I think it may have come out as an album(record) originally...although my first copy was a cassette tape(gasp)Good riddance to those things though.

Anyway, what can you say about Dokken except that they kicked serious a## and never headlined that I remember. I truely think they must have had some seriously terrible management back in those days. They were all over MTV, George was all over Guitar Player magazine, they had good radio airplay, they wrote a tune for a major cult horror movie(yes, NM on Elm Street was big, believe it or not). I think they must have been 'cute' enough...christ, Motley Crue could get chicks and look at those ugly MFr's!!!! It just doesn't add up does it?

Enough on that...this album absolutely blew the socks off most people when it came out. I never once heard anybody gripe or complain or even utter a word of disappointment about Back for the Attack...really!!! Under Lock and Key was very,very good...but I think the hard metal heads kind of shied away from that one because of the cover..LOL!!! If your new to Dokken...this is an absolute must have!!! If your not new to Dokken...than this, like me, is probably your fifth or sixth copy!!!!

5 out of 5 stars Dokken's last "classic" release.......2007-06-08

THE BAND: Don Dokken (vocals), George Lynch (guitars), Jeff Pilson (bass), Mick Brown (drums & percussion).

THE DISC: (1987) 13 tracks clocking in at approximately 63 minutes. Included with the disc is a 3-page blue foldout containing song titles/credits, individual band member photos, and thank you's. Recorded at Total Access Studios (Redondo Beach, CA), One On One Studios and Music Grinder Studios (both in Hollywood, CA). Label - Elektra Records.

COMMENTS: My all-time favorite Dokken album is "Under Lock & Key" (1985), but this "Back For The Attack" is a close 2nd. For me, this was the album that never ended (my favorite bands from the 70's and 80's were notorious for putting out 30+ minute albums - Van Halen, Aerosmith and Kiss to name three). This was Dokken's lengthy masterpiece... 13 songs of blissful soul, melody and attitude. Several songs are worthy of mention - "Dream Warriors" (featured in "A Nightmare On Elm Street - 3"), "Burning Like A Flame", the slow and hulking "Heaven Sent", and George Lynch's trademark instrumental - the guitar assault of "Mr. Scary". All four of these songs made it to their "Very Best Of Dokken" (1999) disc. Honorable mentions include "Prisoner", "So Many Tears", and one of my all-time favorite songs in their entire catalog "Standing In The Shadows". Dokken's 2-disc "Definitive Rock Collection" (2006) features all 7 of the songs mentioned here (6 studio and 1 live version). "Back For The Attack" has absolutely no filler, and not one song that truly qualifies as a power ballad. I don't know how else to say it - I love this album. *Footnote - the single "Dream Warriors" was released and the B-side was a left over track from the "Under Lock & Key" studio sessions called "Back For The Attack"... but surprisingly this song is not featured on the album bearing the same name. As good as this album is/was, I still find it bitter sweet. "Back For The Attack" would be the last Dokken album of the 80's, and the start of band members coming and going (specifically Lynch and Pilson). It would also be 8 long years before their next studio release, "Dysfunctional" (1995). "Back For The Attack" is truly one of the better albums of the 80's genre - the combination of Dokken's soothing vocals with Lynch's blistering guitar was for the most part unmatched (5 stars).

3 out of 5 stars Back for the Attack.......2007-05-10

The song Kiss of deat and Mr. Scary are the best...the rest is okay.

5 out of 5 stars The best Dokken album!!!.......2006-07-21

Unlike many people this is my favorite Dokken album. Theres not much to say about this album except that it is totally awesome!!! I personally like it so much that if it was $100 or more I would totally buy it, it's above and beyond worth it! If your an 80's headbanger or a fan of any of Dokkens early material then GET THIS ALBUM, you WONT be sorry.

5 out of 5 stars the best/the last.......2006-03-25

Ladies and gentlemen, this is Dokken's best album. Period. It's perfect. The unfortunate thing is that every Dokken album that came out after this one ranged from mediocre to horrible. Yes, I have Erase the Slate and all the rest. What you have are a collection of albums that have one or two good songs on it and the rest is filler. Dokken lost their formula for making music that rocks despite the fact that he had giants such as Beach, Norum, and Sparks. I still listen to this album front to back. Remember when you could do that with Dokken albums and not want to fall asleep? This was their best. It should've been their last.

5 out of 5 stars The penultimate collection ..........2006-12-07

Generally I agree with Strategos in his ecstatic Spotlight Review above. It is a joy to here some of the most memorable themes and cues from some of the most memorable science fiction and fantasy movies (re)recorded in great sound and in lavish (re)orchestrations, played by renowned classical orchestras, namely the City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra, the Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra and the Philharmonia Orchestra, no less.

I have always had a weak spot for (good, or maybe even intelligent) science fiction/fantasy and film music, especially its way of evoking mystery, grandure and wide open spaces. Call it a weakness if you want. But it was maybe really kick started off, for as far as I can remember, with Star Trek. But especially Star Trek II, III and IV - essentially a trilogy - because of their very romantic but very warm, human core, set on the broadest canvasses of unlimited and mysterious outer space. But then there was the music for adding that essential extra dimension of emotion and atmosphere. I am happy that much of the music on this album is from the Star Trek series and films, often equaling or sometimes even outclassing the original recordings.

This kind of music (for the movies) should be seen as an art on its own rights with its own merits and qualities. As such, the musical sequences on these CD's are a beautifully played cross section of some of the most evoking orchestral music for science fiction/fantasy film ever created. And I very much like the nicely blended, wide and deep orchestral soundpicture with enough reverberation to evoke a sense of wide open spaces.
I am quite thrilled by tracks like the evocative music from Dune, truly transporting one to the vastly sands of Arrakis (the music is wonderful, but to my great regret I think the movie itself is a flawed masterpiece at best, alas.). And then there is the very different, goofy music for Ghostbusters (memories of childhood), the spoofy but electrifying music from Mars Attacks (lovingly parodist music, this, with not a little touch of irony) and the happily adventurous, forward driving Theme from Galaxy Quest ('Never give up, never surrender!'), now also used for the internet-based fan-series Star Trek: The Hidden Frontier. On the other side of the spectrum we have the atmospheric music for Enemy Mine (an underestimated 'little' movie), the Theme from The Right Stuff (actually science FACT, not fiction, this film, just like Apollo 13, of course), the eerily attractive music for Species, the original End Title for Alien (not used in the theatrical version of the movie, where it was replaced by music from howard Hanson's Second Symphony), the exquisitely exotic music for Stargate, the sweet and warmly sympathetic, beautifully re-orchestrated, theme for Starman, the title cue for Star Trek: TOS (much more melodiously played than the original! If only a series nowadays could continue to be as thought provoking and as original as Star Trek was during its launch, fourty years ago ...) and a truly overpowering End Titles Suite from Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country. I especially like the thrillingly grandiloquent rendition here of the music for Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. And how nice it is to hear the (thematic) similarities between James Horner's music for The Wrath of Khan, his great break-through as a film music composer, and his (two years) earlier music for Battle Beyond the Stars (which did indeed help him earn the job for writing the music for Star Trek II) ...

But on the 'down side', if one is looking for - for example - the gorgeously expansively played End Titles from Cocoon, it is not included here: one has to acquire the album that 'kicked it all off', so to say, namely 'Space and Beyond', also on Silva Screen. I was very pleased also with the inclusion on that album of some of the music from the series Star Trek: The Next Generation, namely where one of the characters, Tasha Yar, in one of the episodes (Skin of Evil) is saying goodbye to her crewmmates: sweetly sentimental and simple music which I have always wanted to own on CD. I guess that a few cues from the other two sequals ('Alien Invasion: Space and Beyond II' and 'Space3: Beyond the Final Frontier') didn't make it onto this 4 CD collection-album as well, but I guess that it would be the 'better part of the bargain' to opt to buy this 'The Science Fiction Album' instead of buying all three albums separately. Well, of course it is for yourself to ultimately decide what you really want ;-)

If I were to nitpick (which is not easy with such a marvellous project as this one), then I would say that while all music is performed with magnificent grandure and with style, some of it is not performed as crisply and as technically 'on the spot' as some of the original recordings: ensemble is a little slack and the playing somewhat stilted sometimes, losing some of the edge and the originality of the writing. ET and Star Wars spring to mind, but then the soundtracks for Star Wars are traditionally recorded with the magnificent London Symphony Orchestra, conducted by maestro John Williams himself, and these superior recordings (especially the ones for Episode I, II and III) can't really be bettered, IMHO. Likewise for the music from Star Trek: The Motion Picture, I believe that in the end one really has to resort to the ultimate reference, namely the original recording (which is true in many other instances of 'original recordings'), and then the 20th anniversay colector's edition of this soundtrack on Columbia/Legacy (truly unmissable, this veritable classic of sci-fi/film music soundtracks!).

But all in all this 4CD-collection amounts to probably being the penultimate high quality sci-fi music album collection (I certainly know of no other project that comes as close quality as well as quantity wise), with some of the most memorable musical moments from classic to modern sci-fi/fantasy film captured in lavish orchestrations.
Collection-wise: five *stars*. Playing: generally four *stars*, sometimes more. The recording quality: five *stars*. The music (qualified on its own merits as film music) and its (re)orchestrations: generally five *stars*. In the end this is all highly recommended, and certainly not to be missed by science fiction and fantasy film music fans. Klaatu barada nikto.

You wonderful four disk collection of SF music. It startsa up the the grand master of SF music, 2001: A space Odyssey all the way to Superman. This is all American SF music and several themes I would have liked to have included are not there. All in all though, a collection you will enjoy.

5 out of 5 stars The Ulllllltimate Sci-Fi Music Collection.......2005-10-23

If one person gives great gifts, it's the illustrious Codemaster Talon. I've received a fair number of gifts in my lifetime, but so far, my older sister's take the cake. Take this one for instance. I'm real big on orchestral music, to the point where I listen to them more than any other kind of music. I've got orchestral versions of video game themes, orchestral soundtracks to truck-loads of anime shows (Big O, Escaflowne, and Giant Robo are incredible), and could probably spend the rest of my life just trying to study the nuances of all the classical music I've got. Being such a huge fan of orchestral music, I also have come to believe that orchestra music produced for movies and television is the new classical music (or as someone once said, Mozart would be making music for movies if he were alive today). Being a huge sci-fi fan, that kind of music has always been particularly near and dear to my heart. But were I to buy each and every soundtrack for every sci-fi I liked it would cost quite a bundle, and would include a lot of sub-par music along with the grandiose and fantastic main and memorable themes. That's where this beauty comes in.

The moment I ripped off the shrink-wrap and popped it into my cd player was a moment of great trepidation. Believe me when I tell that I've seen my fair share of sub-par orchestral recording in my lifetime. Very often they are in those big super-packs of music, and suffer from poor direction, improper mastering, and sometime even pathetic orchestration (or worse yet have something sounding like a cheap synthesizer and a kazoo in place of a full orchestra). I needn't have worried though. This sucker is fantastic.

Many people who are not audiophiles will probably miss the point of this cd collection. It is not the original versions of the pieces. It is re-orchestrations, mostly by the phenomenal Prague Symphony Orchestra. Many of these themes didn't sound all that hot in there original versions because they were low budget films or were not recorded in high-fidelity. Here they are given the full treatment, mastered with the most loving care imaginable. Often the version found in these cds is SUPERIOR to the original.

Remember the theme from 2001: A Space Odyssey? Of course you do. But how many times have you heard a cheap imitation of the original version from the movie, starting too low in volume and ending too high (and missing the essential pipe-organ that gives it that extra oomph)? Well, this first track in the entire collection is not only everything it should be instrumental and timing-wise, but it also has been oh-so-carefully adjusted during the mastering process so that at no time is the music either too low or too high in volume (surely a benchmark for every other recording ever to be made of the piece).

Or what about the theme from the (at-the-time) uber-creepy The Black Hole? The orchestration of this piece of music goes from tiumphant to terrifying and back again, with a splendor and cleanness that I CERTAINLY don't remember being in the original recording.

Then there's the new version of the theme from Independence Day, complete with a violin solo, a far more electrifying ending climax, and a chorus so thunderous that you feel like applauding at the end. Simply indescribable. Kind of like the MIND-BLOWING rendition of the theme from The Last Star Fighter. This has been one of my favorite themes for a long time now, but I've never heard it played like this. I think the original version of the theme is something like 1 minute long, but this new version doesn't just fade out (HAHAHAHA!!!!) THIS version is THREE minutes long, goes through the main theme THREE times, with the final strains being so triumphant and joyous I could not help but feel an electrifying charge the first dozen or so times (come to think of it, I still feel that way). This is superior to the original in EVERY way. AWESOME.

And let's not forget the incredible new rendition of Stargate with it's heavy use of clarinets (for Egyptian effect!) and a triumphant new ending (completely lacking the chanting from the original version. This version is so different that for the first minute it is very hard to tell that it is in fact Stargate. But then the main theme kicks in, and then you get this incredible flute solo for my favorite part of theme (the whole thing is played slower, but arguably more powerfully than the original). My goodness. At first I found the thing so different I didn't like it. But then I listened to it again. And again. And again.

I could go on and on, talking about the fantastic new rendition of Moon Raker, the ear-popping Battlestar Galactica, the classic Star Trek (First Contact has a minute or two of the theme from Star Trek:The Motion Picture before going into the main theme), or the sweet renditions of music from the Star Wars movies (or the music from E.T.).

I have to mention though that this collection was not picked based merely on what people want, or on what is popular. No, the people who made it obviously thought a GOOD music collection was better than a popular one. That's why you get a heartbreakingly beautiful theme from A.I. instead of the main theme. It's why you get music from movies that you probably never gave a second thought to the music (because the movie was lousy). It's why you get Armageddon, Judge Dredd, and Robocop (who would have guessed their music was so COOL when there was all that crazy action and bad-acting going on on-screen).

I said it before and I'll say it again. This cd-set was mastered with tender-loving-care, and it shows BIG-TIME. High-fidelity the likes of which I have not seen since the days when cds were brand-new in the world. Dolby Surround. Perfectly balanced. BEAUTIUFL orchestrations. About the only thing that makes me scratch my head is the weird sound-effect tracks (Oooookay.....). Other than that, it's PERFECT. Obviously they could not include every sci-fi theme ever (no one can), but this collection is REALLY GOOD. A lot of great themes that got away (forgotten gems :), new versions of old favorites, and under-appreciated classics aplenty, but ALWAYS the full and complete versions with nothing cut-out (the theme from Dune is quite extended).

If you love movie music (and sci-fi movie music in particular) you MUST buy this awesome collection). It is not the original recordings. Almost always the new ones are better (if they aren't better they're just equal). This is what you have been waiting for. I for one am going to be buying quite a few cds from this company in the future. Give your ears the treat they deserve. Buy it NOW.

I bought the Science Fiction Album as a gift for my son who is twenty-one years old. He is a musician, and also a huge fan of many SciFi shows and movies. I thought this would be the perfect thing for him and I was right. He loves it!

3 out of 5 stars Away From to be a Collectible Peace.......2004-12-16

If you like Sci-Fi movies and want a compilation of their important scores, this is the CD-set to buy. But let me warn you about that very few songs in the cds are from the original soundtracks. Most of them is re-recorded by The City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra. But the sound quality of cds are very good, because they have HDCD and Dolby Surround labels. This set is away from to be a collectible peace, but it is a good general compilation of favorite Sci-Fi movie scores.

5 out of 5 stars Damn..........2007-05-15

EPs can be hit or miss alot of times. From bands wanting experiment with new styles and themes all the way down to just piss poor recording quality and hastily thrown together songs, buying a release under 7 tracks can be an adventure that often leaves one thinking "thank god that didn't cost more than 5 dollars." The Impossibles however deliver a winner with "Back 4 the Attack!" With catchy lines, crystal clear vocals, and stunning harmonies, all layed over sharp musican ship and good recording quality, this EP is a jem in Fuled by Ramen's incredbly lackluster and dull cataloge of musical mediocrity. The EP, which lasts just over 10 minutes, Is catchy enough that it can stay in heavy rotation on your stereo for a week and not get tireing. If there is a weak track out of the five, its it probably "Face First!" or "frances" which are less rolicking and slower than the other three tracks. Both are still solid cuts, but they dont reach out and grab you like the others(except for the hook in "face first"). I personaly feel the strongest track is "Plan B." It stands out as the opening track on the CD, and definatly showcases the band's sound. If you enjoy ska-punk or pop punk, you need to shell out the money for this one. this band is not to be confused with Thee Impossibles.

5 out of 5 stars the impossibles are spiffy.......2001-11-09

i must say, i don't own this cd but i own anthology and it's just awesome. anthology is back for the attack and their self-titled album combined. it's a better deal, as far as money is concerned because you get 20 songs for the regular price. anyway, out of the 5 songs my favorites are plan b and widowmaker. they have a great ska sound. if you like the impossibles, check out their newer cd, return, and their latest EP, 4 song brick bomb.

5 out of 5 stars Great Weezer Ska.......1999-12-22

These guys have been dubbed as Weezer ska by just about everyone I know. The reasons being are: A. The sing a lot about girls B. They have a nerd rock Weezer sound with ska riffs. I assure you that when you pop this cd in you'll think oh my god...its Weezer ska. THe album is solid with two different lead vocalists working on different songs. This is a nice buy for fans of ska or Weezer.

5 out of 5 stars THE BEST BAND EVER!!!.......1998-07-15

Even though this CD is short it's great just like the other one!!! I love this band sooo much. They are extrememly talented and it made me sad when they broke up. If you haven't heard this cd go out and get it...it's awesome!!!

5 out of 5 stars Too great for words.......1998-07-14

This band is by far the most enjoyable ska-punk ensemble in recent years. The solid guitar hooks, the catchy choruses, and the surprisingly pretty melodies in all of their songs are 100% kick @ss. Get both albums.

      5 out of 5 stars One Bad-A## Album (Do we still call it that?).......2007-07-17

      It's somehow weird to call something an 'album'. I think it may have come out as an album(record) originally...although my first copy was a cassette tape(gasp)Good riddance to those things though.

      Anyway, what can you say about Dokken except that they kicked serious a## and never headlined that I remember. I truely think they must have had some seriously terrible management back in those days. They were all over MTV, George was all over Guitar Player magazine, they had good radio airplay, they wrote a tune for a major cult horror movie(yes, NM on Elm Street was big, believe it or not). I think they must have been 'cute' enough...christ, Motley Crue could get chicks and look at those ugly MFr's!!!! It just doesn't add up does it?

      Enough on that...this album absolutely blew the socks off most people when it came out. I never once heard anybody gripe or complain or even utter a word of disappointment about Back for the Attack...really!!! Under Lock and Key was very,very good...but I think the hard metal heads kind of shied away from that one because of the cover..LOL!!! If your new to Dokken...this is an absolute must have!!! If your not new to Dokken...than this, like me, is probably your fifth or sixth copy!!!!

      5 out of 5 stars Dokken's last "classic" release.......2007-06-08

      THE BAND: Don Dokken (vocals), George Lynch (guitars), Jeff Pilson (bass), Mick Brown (drums & percussion).

      THE DISC: (1987) 13 tracks clocking in at approximately 63 minutes. Included with the disc is a 3-page blue foldout containing song titles/credits, individual band member photos, and thank you's. Recorded at Total Access Studios (Redondo Beach, CA), One On One Studios and Music Grinder Studios (both in Hollywood, CA). Label - Elektra Records.

      COMMENTS: My all-time favorite Dokken album is "Under Lock & Key" (1985), but this "Back For The Attack" is a close 2nd. For me, this was the album that never ended (my favorite bands from the 70's and 80's were notorious for putting out 30+ minute albums - Van Halen, Aerosmith and Kiss to name three). This was Dokken's lengthy masterpiece... 13 songs of blissful soul, melody and attitude. Several songs are worthy of mention - "Dream Warriors" (featured in "A Nightmare On Elm Street - 3"), "Burning Like A Flame", the slow and hulking "Heaven Sent", and George Lynch's trademark instrumental - the guitar assault of "Mr. Scary". All four of these songs made it to their "Very Best Of Dokken" (1999) disc. Honorable mentions include "Prisoner", "So Many Tears", and one of my all-time favorite songs in their entire catalog "Standing In The Shadows". Dokken's 2-disc "Definitive Rock Collection" (2006) features all 7 of the songs mentioned here (6 studio and 1 live version). "Back For The Attack" has absolutely no filler, and not one song that truly qualifies as a power ballad. I don't know how else to say it - I love this album. *Footnote - the single "Dream Warriors" was released and the B-side was a left over track from the "Under Lock & Key" studio sessions called "Back For The Attack"... but surprisingly this song is not featured on the album bearing the same name. As good as this album is/was, I still find it bitter sweet. "Back For The Attack" would be the last Dokken album of the 80's, and the start of band members coming and going (specifically Lynch and Pilson). It would also be 8 long years before their next studio release, "Dysfunctional" (1995). "Back For The Attack" is truly one of the better albums of the 80's genre - the combination of Dokken's soothing vocals with Lynch's blistering guitar was for the most part unmatched (5 stars).

      3 out of 5 stars Back for the Attack.......2007-05-10

      The song Kiss of deat and Mr. Scary are the best...the rest is okay.

      5 out of 5 stars The best Dokken album!!!.......2006-07-21

      Unlike many people this is my favorite Dokken album. Theres not much to say about this album except that it is totally awesome!!! I personally like it so much that if it was $100 or more I would totally buy it, it's above and beyond worth it! If your an 80's headbanger or a fan of any of Dokkens early material then GET THIS ALBUM, you WONT be sorry.

      5 out of 5 stars the best/the last.......2006-03-25

      Ladies and gentlemen, this is Dokken's best album. Period. It's perfect. The unfortunate thing is that every Dokken album that came out after this one ranged from mediocre to horrible. Yes, I have Erase the Slate and all the rest. What you have are a collection of albums that have one or two good songs on it and the rest is filler. Dokken lost their formula for making music that rocks despite the fact that he had giants such as Beach, Norum, and Sparks. I still listen to this album front to back. Remember when you could do that with Dokken albums and not want to fall asleep? This was their best. It should've been their last.
