Edición japo del cuarto álbum de estudio de los norteamericanos Stryper. En este disco cambiaron radicalmente de onda, dejando de lado sus famosos uniformes a rayas, sus letras cristianas e incluso cambiando la línea de su música, alejándose un poco del Hair Metal y tocando algo más parecido a Van Halen.
Reseña extraída de ElPortalDelMetal.com
Después de editar el excelente “In God We Trust”, los cristianos Stryper cambiaron radicalmente de estilo, tanto en letras como en imagen, dejaron de lado sus disfraces de avispas y se pasaron a los vaqueros y el cuero, como todo heavy “clásico”. ¿El resultado? nada malo, como leeréis a continuación, al menos para un servidor. Hartos del San Benito ( nunca mejor dicho) de “banda cristiana que ama a Dios”, mote bien ganado por ellos mismos y buscado a conciencia, los americanos decidieron dar un giro de timón importante, grabando un disco con algunas de sus virtudes (cuidados arreglos, buenos coros, guitarras bien puestas) pero con un aire mas rockero, mas directo y menos “espiritual”. El disco contiene once temas, con un denominador común: la calidad. No se le puede negar a este grupo una clase y un nivel mas que notable en composición, te guste mas o menos su estilo, esto es así. Nadie puede decir que discos como “Soldiers Under Command”, “To Hell with the Devil” o “In God We Trust” son malos discos en su estilo, bueno, nadie que esté en su sano juicio, claro.
El ambiente de este disco de 1990 es desenfadado, los temas invitan a la fiesta, a cantar, temas como el que abre con su cambio de ritmo y su guapo riff, Not that Kind of Guy (de claro deje Van Halen o los Mr. Big mas enérgicos) o Rock the People contienen adrenalina para parar un tren. Otras recuerdan a temas mas melódicos del grupo como All for One que me trae aires a Keep the Fire Burning o al clásico Calling on You del 86. Destaca sobremanera la voz increíble de Michael Sweet, que en este disco se marca algunos gritos de escándalo, siempre he dicho que es un vocalista impresionante, de los mejores del circuito sin duda. En directo pude disfrutarlo en un Lorca Rock y no baja en absoluto el nivelón mostrado en estudio. Otros grandes temas de este poco valorado disco son el cover de Earth, Wind and Fire Shining Star tema con rollito funky, vitalista y divertido donde los haya con presencia de secciones de viento, también me entusiasma el estribillo de Caught in the Middle con la banda dándolo todo (esta mas onda “To Hell..”) y el cierre con la pasada de Rock the Hell Out of You con su doble bombo a pinón, recuperando los temas mas heavys del grupo (al estilo The Way o The Reign) y donde hay que poner atención a la exhibición de Michael Sweet, forzándo la garganta a tope, cojonudo ese “We will” desgarrado que suelta antes del coro. Curiosamente la cosa flojea un poco en la balada Lady cuando precisamente era en lentas donde ellos se mueven muy bien, recuerdo ahora Lonely o First Love de anteriores discos. Sin ser mala canción, no llega a lo que pueden dar ellos de sí. Oz Fox se marca un buen trabajo, tanto en riffs como en punteos, mostrando sus tablas y su feeling, sin ser un súper virtuoso, siempre muestra competentes maneras y recursos. La portada esta guapa, relacionada con espías y muestra documentos falsos,fotografías, huellas dactilares, evidentemente de alguien “contra la ley” redondeando un trabajo que podemos calificar como notable y menos conocido del grupo.

Japanese edition of fourth studio album of Stryper. Their style changed drastically in this LP, moving away from Christian lyrics, bee disguise and playing a music closer to Van Halen that their old Hair Metal.
From Metal-Archives:
This is by far the best album, musically, for Stryper. The only problem was that it happened just a little too late, and at a time when rock music was beginning to change into something else.
The coming of grunge was only a small reason why this album led to the downfall of Stryper's commercial success. Mostly, it was because Styper decided to go in another direction with their image and with their music.
While the lyrics changed from purely Christian to just a positive message, the Christian music world felt shunned by it's biggest posterboys for Christ. Although Stryper struggled against the hard line conservative Christian talking heads for most of their careers, it was the religious message that helped bring them to the top of their game.
Christians who liked metal music loved Stryper for being in touch with their musical tastes. Metal fans who were not religious were curious as to how four guys dressed in yellow and black and preaching about God could rock the world and a lot of fans stayed on with them, despite the message and not because of it.
With Against the Law, Stryper shed the spandex and yellow and black for clothes more suitable for the coming times. Gone were the makeup and over the top fashions to be replaced with leather, loose, button down shirts, and beards. They also shed their Christian lyrics for more positive, mainstream topics like being cheated on and having some fun.
By far, this record was the one where all four members were able to shine. Oz Fox was finally able to show his fantastic fretwork, and on the very first song the tone of the guitar was no longer Michael and all Oz! The solos were loose, not flashy, but fit the songs like a glove. Finally, Oz was able to show just how good he really is. Is he a virtuoso like Satriani, Vai, and Malmsteen? No. Is he just as good as every other guitarist of the era? Absolutely. Oz has fun on this record, and you can hear it in his playing.
Michael Sweet's voice took on a harder edge to it, also. On songs like Lady, their signature ballad, it does go towards his feminine tone of the previous albums, but with a touch of crunch to it. This is actually a pretty good song, as far as ballads go, with a touch of blues to it. Today, the screams would seem as if he was trying to hard or overdoing it, but back in 1990, it was the thing to do. And there aren't many who can do it as melodically as Michael Sweet.
Tim Gaines played excellant on this album. The backup vocals were stripped down, unlike the other albums with perfect harmonies, and more in your face. For some reason, it seemed to fit Gaines a little better than before. The co-anchor of the rythym section performed beautifully on Shining Star, though it was rumored he had help. He was also excellant on Two Bodies (One Mind, One Soul).
This album rocked more than most of the others, and was not in any way overproduced. The mix was awesome, the songs punched, and it appeared as if the members of Stryper were able to spread their wings a little and have some fun. Songs like All For One and Two Bodies soared vocally and musically. Shining Star, a cover an Earth, Wind, and Fire tune is very good, also. Stryper combines funk with metal on this one and it works, plain and simple.
Because of the image and lyrical change, many people were confused by what Stryper was trying to do with this album and they refused to give it a chance. The hardcore Christians were upset at no longer having biblical anthems and the metal heads of the 80's shunned Stryper as selling out to the label or trying to be commercial. I believe it was neither. I think Stryper just wanted to try something different, and the result was some very kick ass music made by some excellant musicians.
Had it been given the chance, people would have realized that the message was still positive and these guys could rock with the best of them.
Anyone into Metallica, Slayer, Anthrax, or Pantera will not like this. People into Motley Crue (Dr. Feelgood album), Queensryche, White Lion, or Dokken will enjoy it.
Discazo , una pena que no toquen temas de este disco, lo tiene olvidado pero solo por este tema vale la pena y alguno más. A mi me encanta este disco. Gracias Jarpo.
