White Sister is a very impressive 80's AOR/melodic hair metal band.

Clasic 80's melodic rock album
Justin Gaines | Northern Virginia | 04/03/2008

"I hadn't previously heard of White Sister when I ran across a used copy of their self-titled 1984 debut album, but I could tell just by the cover photo that I was going to love it. Call it the "Loverboy rule." When you see an 80's band that sports a combination of red leather pants and white boots, you can be reasonably certain that they are going to rock. If the band photo wasn't proof enough, the album was produced by AOR icon Greg Giuffria.
As expected, White Sister had a classic 80's AOR/melodic rock sound - great melodies, catchy choruses, guitar hooks, and positively drenched with keyboards. The album is full of rock anthems (the first four tracks alone should have been massive arena rocking hits) and of course power ballads. It's really just the quintessential mid 80's melodic rock album.
If you're an 80's rock fan, particularly of bands like Journey, Loverboy, Giuffria, and Rail, this is an absolute must-have album.
NOTE: White Sister was reissued by Zoom Club and EMI/Heavy Metal America in 2002. This is the first time the album was made available on CD, and while it does not contain any bonus material, it has been digitally remastered.

The Best From This Era!!!!!!! (And Others)

"These guys know how to deliver the catchiest hottest heavy pop ever written. Every song on this cd is PERFECT!! Unfortunatly this cd was about 3 or 4 years AHEAD of its time. I would go as far as to say that if these guys had released this album in 85 or 86 they would be as much a household name as any other heavy pop band you CAN name (I hate to name names becouse no one I would name is worthy of being a guitar tech for these guys). If you want to hear a very intelligent version of 80's pop metal run don't walk to your mail box to get this after you order it."
