While no new Tokyo Blade album is in sight, the artist has been road testing new songs during 1984 tour in South America. After debuting at No. 1 last week, Tokyo Blade’s album Night Of The Blade falls to No. 2 with 511,000, a sales slide of 59%. Tokyo Blade had quite a long carriere and they made many hits. I wish that “Night Of The Blade” album was instrumental.
Night Of The Blade - This one is what it is: a powerful, primal invitation to love. One of the songs that always stick in my mind is Rock Me To The Limit because the melody in the chorus is so good. It took me a little time but I ended up loving Warrior Of The Rising Sun. Only one song from Night Of The Blade named Unleash The Beast really got me. In Love Struck it becomes nowhere more obvious that Tokyo Blade has yet to define own style. Opening track Dead Of The Night shows the best of Tokyo Blade. Lightning Strikes (Straight Through The Heart) is a song that takes you on the journey before it reaches the conclusion. Fever gives taste of what makes Tokyo Blade special as a musician. One of the more genuine-sounding songs is Attack Attack. Madame Guillotine - This happy song is an ode to optimism and an anthem. In Break Out the music gets its power. Monkeys Blood - Well, here we get a bit more meaning. School House Is Burnin’ - My least favorite song on this album. Shadows Of Insanity has a fun tempo. Jezzabell motivates you to get up and do something to improve your life and the life of others.
