REVIEW:
Winger was among many Late ‘80’s-Early ‘90s lite metal rock bands that briefly caught fire in the ‘big hair, even bigger sound’ MTV video era. Considering the group’s output, it isn’t surprising that Winger struggled amidst a glut of competition seeking to be the next Bon Jovi or Def Leppard. Still, some of this group’s tunes from their 1988 self-titled first effort and 1990’s In the Heart of The Young hold up surprisingly well. The second album’s “In the Day We’ll Never See,” angles for a top spot on this hypothetical list.
While the apocalyptic lyrics infers some futuristic sci-fi rock opera, Kip Winger once indicated that this particular song was meant to reflect his environmental concerns. Either way, this pulsating track is well-played. Bringing its intriguing narrative to life, Kip Winger’s articulate vocals syncs well with the band’s loud instrumentals. The end result is some ideal lite metal. Considering its timely subject matter, “In The Day We’ll Never See” is ripe for another chance from rock fans.
