I haven't heard anything that was a Gary Hughes style rip off but it's certainly trying to be 1987 II. David Readman does a great Coverdale- certainly miles better than old Cov can manage these days.

I like it- more than I've liked a Whitesnake album since 1987. As long as the songs aren't ripping off riffs and melodies I don't have a problem with bands doing albums "in the style of". In fact I'm rather hoping LaTorre-ryche manage to do it with their new album.
