EXTD=Originally Released May 1987\n\nAMG EXPERT REVIEW: Switching from
EXTD= Epic to Capitol with 1985's Heart proved to be a wise move for t
EXTD=he Wilson sisters, who experienced a major resurgence in populari
EXTD=ty and gained many new followers. Heart's arena rock sound had be
EXTD=come even glossier, and the band was selling more albums than eve
EXTD=r. But for all its production gloss (courtesy of Ron Nevison) and
EXTD= pop slickness, Bad Animals comes across as sincere rather than f
EXTD=ormulaic or cynical. From the rockers "You Ain't Too Tough" and "
EXTD=Easy Target" to the power ballads "Alone" and "Wait for an Answer
EXTD=," all of the songs are quite memorable. The folk elements and ac
EXTD=oustic leanings that characterized many of Heart's early ballads 
EXTD=were long gone, and the Wilson sisters keep the volume high but s
EXTD=low the tempo.  -- Alex Henderson\n\n\nAMAZON.COM CUSTOMER REVIEW
EXTD=\nNot to be Confused With BAD HEART by the Animals, October 1, 20
EXTD=05 \nBy  Gregory B. Callahan\nJust kiddin'. Wanted to see if you 
EXTD=were awake. \n\nWell, I'm the first to admit that neither set of 
EXTD=Wilson sisters (Ann and Nancy or Carnie and Wendy) ever really gr
EXTD=abbed me, musically speaking. But it's also true that periodicall
EXTD=y, someone will mention to me (or maybe post on Amazon or somepla
EXTD=ce else) that they think Ann Wilson is just about the greatest fe
EXTD=male rock singer ever. More than Janis? Grace? Chrissie or Stevie
EXTD=? Yes, they insist, and actually,they have a point. \n\nAnn Wilso
EXTD=n does have some set of pipes, no denying. Whether she is superio
EXTD=r to any of the artists listed above (or any number of others) wi
EXTD=ll always be moot--and subject to the whims and tastes of individ
EXTD=ual listeners everywhere. But after listening to this record some
EXTD= 18 years after its release, I would have to concede that Ann is 
EXTD=probably the greatest woman ARENA rocker ever. How much stock you
EXTD= want to put in that depends largely on how you feel about that k
EXTD=ind of music. \n\nPower ballads and bombastic art rock were NEVER
EXTD= critical faves, and many of us regular Joes and Joannes may not 
EXTD=have been exactly enamored of the genre either. But we all have o
EXTD=ur little guilty pleasures. One of mine was "Magic Man." But that
EXTD= in itself wasn't quite enough to make me a total Ann fan. I thou
EXTD=ght "Barracuda" was a little screechy and generally over the top.
EXTD= And "Little Queen" and other 70s entries pretty much made no imp
EXTD=ression. \n\nI was intrigued when I learned that they had briefly
EXTD= taken up co-writing with one of their old school friends who had
EXTD= gone on to major in German literature (as I had). I was curious 
EXTD=as to how that would all pan out. The prospect of Rilke-rock seem
EXTD=ed pretty intriguing. But I never quite got around to checking it
EXTD= out. (I believe that would be the DOG & BUTTERFLY era, but I cou
EXTD=ld be wrong.) I didn't expect they'd be entering Nico territory, 
EXTD=but literate rock'n'roll never did seem like a contradiction in t
EXTD=erms to me. Apparently though, that association didn't last, and 
EXTD=Heart itself kind of meandered until their mid-80s commercial (an
EXTD=d I do mean "commercial") renaissance. \n\nThe Diane-Warrenizatio
EXTD=n of popular music was well underway by the mid-80s when Heart ju
EXTD=mped on that particular bandwagon. And if anyone was suited to th
EXTD=at kind of melodious melodrama, it would have been Ann and Nancy.
EXTD= Grace Slick, who of course, also dabbled in 80s commercialism he
EXTD=rself, once said that she came to admire Warren (and presumably o
EXTD=ther hitmakers) for her ability to do what she did so well--even 
EXTD=if it wasn't really her thing. Well, it did seem a particularly b
EXTD=izarre match for Grace, but for Ann and Nancy, it pretty much fit
EXTD= like a glove. \n\nNancy does her usual one song ("There's the Gi
EXTD=rl")on BAD ANIMALS, and it's impressively diaphonous a la "These 
EXTD=Dreams"--but with a little more bounce than the earlier track. Th
EXTD=e track shows off her pretty, but not overly dynamic, voice to go
EXTD=od advantage. The rest of the album is Ann's to do with as she wi
EXTD=ll. And regardless of how one may feel about the music as a whole
EXTD=, it is a fascinating, almost textbook example of power rock voca
EXTD=l technique. Call it Rock Singing 101. The grit is there on the t
EXTD=itle track. And the skilled balladeering dominates elsewhere. \n\n
EXTD=All in all, a tour de force performance. Like I say, it's easy to
EXTD= see where all her admirers are coming from. But the album is als
EXTD=o fronted with hits. The songs you heard in the 80s are the first
EXTD= songs on the CD. And it's clear the radio hits were selected for
EXTD= a reason. As the album goes on, the music gets less and less int
EXTD=eresting. And by the last song, "RSVP" many listeners will be all
EXTD= too glad to see the album come to an end. It's not bad, but by t
EXTD=hen, the R'n'R 101 class presentation has lost some of its steam.
EXTD= All the stops have been pulled out, and it's time for something 
EXTD=else. Or maybe just some peace and quiet. \n\n\n\nAMAZON.COM CUST
EXTD=OMER REVIEW\nGood, but not one of Heart's best releases, May 3, 2
EXTD=005 \nBy  Darth Kommissar (Las Vegas, NV (USA))\nAlthough Heart f
EXTD=aded into obscurity early in the eighties, by the middle of the d
EXTD=ecade the band had made a huge and unexpected comeback. With a dr
EXTD=astic sound change, the band seemed ready to take on the pop-rock
EXTD= superstars of the day. Their 1985 self-titled comeback release p
EXTD=roved that they still had what it takes in the music industry. Ne
EXTD=edless to say, the record company was pushing the band for a foll
EXTD=ow-up record. Fans were eager for one, too. And two years later, 
EXTD=in 1987, the Bad Animals album was released. How does this one me
EXTD=asure up? Read on for my review. \n\nBad Animals is a solid entry
EXTD= into the Heart catalogue, but it is not one of the group's stron
EXTD=ger releases. The record company must have realized just how succ
EXTD=essful the power ballads on the 1985 album, because for the most 
EXTD=part, that's what this album consists of. The thing I liked about
EXTD= the 1985 release is that it showed the band doing pretty much ev
EXTD=erything every band in the eighties was doing - hard rockers and 
EXTD=power ballads alike. I was hoping for Bad Animals to be like that
EXTD=, too, but sadly it isn't. Bad Animals features power ballad over
EXTD=kill. This is obviously one of the group's most commercial effort
EXTD=s, trying drastically to appeal to the masses with their ballads.
EXTD= More likely than not, this was record company pressure that led 
EXTD=the band to do this, so I don't blame the band. And all of this i
EXTD=s besides the point of the music. Although I'm not too crazy that
EXTD= the band recorded an album of almost nothing but power ballads, 
EXTD=the fact of the matter is that this are damn good power ballads. 
EXTD=Heart knew how to make good ones! Among them is the classic Alone
EXTD=, which went onto become one of the group's biggest hit, and the 
EXTD=minor hit Where Will You Run To. From start to finish there is no
EXTD=thing but excellent music here - the only thing it lacks is diver
EXTD=sity. If you're a big-time Heart fan, get this album. Otherwise, 
EXTD=don't bother. \n\nMost of Heart's albums have only been released 
EXTD=on CD once. This is a shame, since some of them got remastered an
EXTD=d reissued with expanded liner notes and bonus tracks. Why can't 
EXTD=this happen to ALL of their albums!? Most of them are long overdu
EXTD=e for remastering and reissuing, due to the mass decline in their
EXTD= availability. If record company executives are reading this - RE
EXTD=ISSUE THESE ALBUMS! \n\nBad Animals is a good album, it's just no
EXTD=t one of my favorite Heart releases. These are good songs, no que
EXTD=stion, but I'm sure fans of the group wanted more musical diversi
EXTD=ty. If you only get one eighties Heart albums, the 1985 self-titl
EXTD=ed release is a much better bet than this one. I don't suggest bu
EXTD=ying this one unless you're a die-hard fan, or unless you just wa
EXTD=nt to get it for the hit singles. This one may take a little more
EXTD= time to grow on you than some of the other releases in the Heart
EXTD= catalogue, but when you do grow to love it, you'll agree that it
EXTD='s a very good album - for what it is. \n\n\n\nAMAZON.COM CUSTOME

EXTD=By  Johny Bottom "Insane and lonely guitarist" (Jacksonville, NC)

EXTD=urpassed it with 'Bad Animals'. This album is not only brilliant,
EXTD= but beautiful. 'Wait for an Answer'. was my favorite off this on
EXTD=e. Ann's voice is so full of desperation, that anyone who's ever

EXTD=e of the feel of it and the way the songs go in a particular orde

EXTD=. \n\n\nHalf.com Details \nProducer: Ron Nevison \n\nAlbum Notes\n
EXTD=Originally released on Capitol.\nHeart followed up their smash 19
EXTD=85 self-titled comeback album with another big seller, 1987's BAD
EXTD= ANIMALS. Producer Ron Nevison was back behind the mixing desk, a
EXTD=nd the Wilson sisters scored again with an album chock full of pr
EXTD=ime pop rock tracks.\nHighlights include the power ballads "Alone
EXTD=" and "Wait for an Answer," as well as the harder rocking cuts "Y
EXTD=ou Ain't Too Tough" and "Easy Target." Again, singer Ann Wilson t
EXTD=urns in a superb vocal performance, confirming her unfortunate st
EXTD=atus as one rock's all-time underrated singers. With their previo
EXTD=us self-titled album and BAD ANIMALS, Heart became one of the '80
EXTD=s biggest rock comeback stories.\n\n\nROLLING STONE REVIEW\nOver 
EXTD=Heart's eleven-year recording career, the band has often been cha
EXTD=rged with creating standard-issue stadium rock. That accusation h
EXTD=asn't always been fair: the Wilson sisters and their band mates k
EXTD=now how to make the formula yield valid, vital hard pop. On seven
EXTD= of the ten tracks on Bad Animals, they do just that.\n\nEven if 
EXTD=Heart had nothing else to offer, its records would be worth the v
EXTD=inyl they're pressed on because of Ann Wilson's voice; time will 
EXTD=eventually prove her to be the stylistic forebear of a decade of 
EXTD=female Top Forty vocalists. Bad Animals has its requisite dosage 
EXTD=of Wilson's sternum-shattering upper register, but it also showca
EXTD=ses her increasing restraint and subtlety. Her subdued reading of
EXTD= "Alone" holds an ample supply of palpable 3:00 a.m. loneliness. 
EXTD=The menacing "Wait for an Answer" is a sampler of Wilson's textur
EXTD=al vocabulary, from the raw silk of her lower register to the jag
EXTD=ged edges of her highs.\n\nSurprisingly, four of the five cuts on
EXTD= the album's powerful first side pledge their allegiance not to h
EXTD=ard rock but to muscular nightclub pop. "Alone" and "I Want You S
EXTD=o Bad" are the vulnerable slow dances; "There's the Girl" and "Wh
EXTD=o Will You Run To" rock hard without stomping out their radio-rea
EXTD=dy melodies. With a high-drama outfit like Heart, plain old pop s
EXTD=ongs are always in danger of getting lost behind outsize musical 
EXTD=gestures. That doesn't happen with these songs.\n\nSide two also 
EXTD=marries sonic force to pop finesse; it simply has the misfortune 
EXTD=of housing the record's three deficient tracks. Arena rock lives 
EXTD=by the hook and dies by it: "You Ain't So Tough," "Strangers of t
EXTD=he Heart" and "Easy Target" need catchier ones, as well as sharpe
EXTD=r lyrics in the verses. Despite this wobbly trio of numbers, thou
EXTD=gh, Bad Animals is savvy and spirited; it could give stadium rock
EXTD= a good name. Or a better one, at least. (RS 503 -- Jul 2, 1987)
