Get it! Flat out Rock n roll March 21, 2009

This album rocks from the get go! It sounds just as good today (2009) as it did back when it was released in 1991.

Released at the tail end of hair metal's popularity, 1991's decidedly non-dangerous Dangerous Curves was Lita Ford's fifth studio album. Fresh from a major hit with her Sharon Osbourne managed 1988 album Lita (which featured a guest appearance by Ozzy Osbourne), Lita came up with the most radio friendly album of her career. Naturally, radio completely ignored it.
I never was much of a Lita Ford fan, but I have to admit I really enjoyed this album. Dangerous Curves is far removed from Ford's harder rocking early albums, but it's more melodic, which is a plus for my tastes. It actually sounds a lot like the first Vixen album. The songs are completely catchy, upbeat, and easy to sing along to (not that I'm admitting to singing along with Lita Ford songs or anything). It's commercial fluff, but in the best possible way. I can see how fans of Lita's earlier albums might be put off by it though.
Unfortunately, the success that she enjoyed with Lita did not carry over to Dangerous Curves. Whether that is due to the absence of either (or both) Osbournes or just the musical climate at the time is anybody's guess. It would prove to be her last major label release and aside from 1995's grunge-influenced Black, is her final studio offering to date.

This is one of my absolute favorite CDs for driving on the freeway in the summertime with the windows down and the music turned up LOUD. There isn't a bum track on the disc, so while I never have to use the 'skip' button, I frequently hit 'back' for an encore of "Shot of Poison," "Playin' with Fire," and "Little Too Early." Take it from a child of the '80s who loves this stuff.

Lita, Lita, Lita...
This is by far Lita Ford's best album. She may be best know for skimpy, tight costumes and singing duets with Ozzy Osbourne, but this album shows that Lita's all about heavy metal melodies.
From the high pitched squeal of the opening note and Lita's raucous request, "Can we turn it up a little louder please?" you know your in for a hard rock ride you'll never forget.
While her previous albums had one or two gems like "Kiss Me Deadly" or "Hellraiser", the songwriting and production were always a little weak.
Each song on this album is finely crafted, from lyrics to licks and everywhere in between.
I credit the intensity of songs like "Larger Than Life", "What Do You Know About Love" and "HellBound Train" to the talented group of backing vocalists that includes one, Jeff Scott Soto, the most underrated voice in Heavy Metal.
Lita herself is of course the driving force, as is evidenced by her sultry vocals on the tracks "Bad Love" and "Black Widow".
The album is rounded out by "Playing With Fire", "Holy Man", "Little Too Early" and "Tambourine Dream" just rock and roll, plain and simple.
Some have criticized the album for being too slick or commercial. In my opinion, Lita finally hit her stride with Dangerous Curves, definitely for the first, but hopefully not the last time.
If you've been a fan of any Lita Ford song, buy this album-it's Lita at her best.
