'Forevermore' was divided by two different opinions. Fans of '1987' and 'Slip of The Tongue' will probably only like half of the songs inside while fans of classic Whitesnake will dig it better because this album explored their pre-commercial era and combined it with the latest modern elements from 'Good To Be Bad'. The bluesy touch is obvious, the heavier riffs are there, but they also didn’t forget to include the easy-listening feel to balance the whole album.

'Steal Your Heart Away' is a brilliant opener but I don't think 'All Out of Luck' is a better follow-up. They should have been put the first single, 'Love Will Set You Free' or 'Dogs In The Street' to keep the momentum up. For those who love ballads, 'Easier Said Than Done' is stunning, 'Fare Thee Well' also a great slow acoustical track while 'One of These Days' is faster in tempo and also lovable.

'I Need You (Shine A Light)' will definitely be fans favorites. The joyous vibe in midtempo with commercial feel is a safe to everyone's ears and one of the strongest tunes here. 'My Evil Ways' wrecks some havoc in heavy riffs and crashing drums, what a beautiful tune. The title track moves in with classic Zeppelin style and strangely I can see Sting also fits perfectly to sing this song.

Coverdale still has amazing vocal at his 60s, even though not as high as it used to be, but it's normal considering his age. The production is great, the bass level is quite high so you might want to tune your EQ for optimal enjoyment. Aldrich / Beach killer guitars are another highlight of modern day Whitesnake and enhanced the overall value of the band and album. Another strong record by the Snake and deserved a solid 85% from me.
