Though purists often cite Tooth and Nail as their favorite, Dokken's third album Under Lock and Key remains the best introduction to the band's sound. Released in 1985, the album showcases the band's every facet, including hit singles ("In My Dreams," "It's Not Love"), heavy metal bursts ("Lightnin' Strikes Again," "Til the Livin' End"), and ballads ("Slippin Away," "Jaded Heart"). It also contains prime examples of the band's best tunes (mid-paced rockers) in "Unchain the Night" and "The Hunter," both of which feature fantastic solos from guitar genius George Lynch. ~ Ed Rivadavia, All Music Guide
