5. Return of the Pride (2008)
“This is a great album from White Lion. The lyrics are good, the music is really good. I believe these guys are good musicians and the vocals are as always great from Mike Tramp. This maybe not as strong an album like “Big Game” or “Mane attraction” which showed real maturity and strength, but it’s still a good album. It’s a bit laid back. Not everything is going to be a Hit from every band, but overall this is an enjoyable album. You’ll like it. It’s a good buy. You won’t be disappointed by any means.”
4. Fight To Survive (1985)
“Musically this album goes way beyond the glam metal sound of its successor “Pride”. This is hard rock or classic metal as some would like to refer to; No “hair metal” hits here, rather solid rock hymns. Mike Tramp’s music pays a tribute to the modern urban life with songs such as “In the City” and the title track. In addition, tunes such as “Cherokee” and “All the fallen men” stand as homage to the predecessors and heroes of the American nation.”
3. Big Game (1989)
“This cd captures the essence of that better time. It is the type of music that you listen to when you are driving in your car, with your windows down, on a warm summer night. All the songs on this album are upbeat, even the ones about broken homes and sunken ships. The general theme for this album is that people must rise up and overcome obstacles–such as potential breakups, political resistance, lost loves, long workdays, and tough family circumstances. Whatever life throws at us, we can handle, White Lion seems to be saying.”

2. Mane Attraction (1991)
“This album veers a tiny bit away from the traditional sound White Lion was known for. The songs are far more deep and meaningful than previous efforts, and that’s saying something considering White Lion’s song writing history. Honestly, I love the change in sound. Some of my favorite White Lion tracks come from this album. Songs Like “Lights And Thunder”, “Farewell To You”, “Broken Heart” and “You’re All I Need” are incredible, and really keep the album flowing nicely.”
1. Pride (1987)
“This is White Lion at their absolute best. This disc from the opening track displays phenomenal vocals and overall musicianship and delivers some of the best songwriting of the 1980s. Mike Tramp’s vocals and Vito Bratta’s guitar virtuoso stand out on all tracks. This is a must-have for any fan of 80’s music !!!! Not one filler track on the whole disc!”
