Originally release in 1987, Loud and Clear was the third album from Los Angeles-based rockers Autograph. The band released a string of impressive melodic rock albums in the mid ‘80s, but for some reason never seemed to fit into the hair metal scene that came to dominate L.A. in the second half of the decade.
Loud and Clear is very similar to Autograph's previous albums (1984's Sign In Please and 1985's That's The Stuff). It's an upbeat, feel-good party rock album with odes to hot girls, loud parties, and rocking all nite. Catchy hooks, great melodies and just enough keyboards are all abundant on Loud & Clear, and Steve Plunkett does another knockout job on vocals. There really isn't a "Turn Up the Radio" style hit on this album, but "Dance All Night" and "Just Got Back From Heaven" should have been solid radio hits at the time, and "More Than a Million Times" should have been huge. It's a brilliant, "soundtrack ready" melodic rocker.
As good as it is, Loud and Clear was Autograph's least successful ‘80s album, and ended up being their last work as a band. Plunkett would launch a new version of Autograph with 2003's Buzz, but it wasn't quite the same. If you're a fan of the mid ‘80s melodic rock sound, Loud & Clear is a "can't miss" album from one of the era's more unfairly overlooked bands. Check it out, especially now that it has been remastered.
Reissue Notes: Loud and Clear was reissued by UK label Rock Candy in 2006. For this reissue, Rock Candy included detailed liner notes and gave the album a brilliant digital remastering. You've never truly heard this album until you've heard this reissue.
