In October of 1982 the album was released. Vandenberg was a
superb effort — easily one of the best albums of that year, and one of
the best debut albums of the period. The album serves up a skilful blend
of the fast-paced, heavy metal rockers infused with the more catchy
aspects of euro-pop/rock, along with a few tracks that explore a more
melodic and sometimes acoustic side. The album also featured the hit
single, Burning Heart — one of the era's first power ballads, and
still one of its best. The album really doesn't have a weak track. If
you're a classic metal fan from a decade when rock still rocked, Vandenberg should be right up your alley. So without any further ado, lets appreciate Vandenberg.
