While the softer songs all ║ │ │║ stand up on their own, there are just too many of them, and ║ │ │║ the album gets boring, despite excellent musicianship. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Musically, however, the band is very sound and the record ║ │ │║ is very sleekly produced. Despite sappy lyrics that all ║ │ │║ sound like they were written by Don Dokken (not a good ║ │ │║ thing), they all have very catchy and well constructed ║ │ │║ melodies. They sound like a mix of U2, Bonham, more U2, ║ │ │║ some Whitesnake, and more U2, led by vocalist Dann Huff, ║ │ │║ who sounds almost exactly like a carbon copy of Bono. Even ║ │ │║ though U2 drives me up the wall, Giantæs brand of hard rock ║ │ │║ doesnÆt do so. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Towards the middle of the album, Giant turn up the rockinÆ ║ │ │║ a few notches, taking a break from the softer side they had ║ │ │║ been exhibiting. ôShake Me Upö and ôThe Big Pitchö ù the ║ │ │║ only two non-ballads ù are probably my favorite tunes on ║ │ │║ the album. If they had gone with a few more rockers, the ║ │ │║ album would have been a lot better, in my view. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Their second album, 1992Æs Time To Burn, goes that route ║ │ │║ and is a much better offering. Even with the brilliant ║ │ │║ musicianship and beautiful melodies, I found Last Of The ║ │ │║ Runaways very underwhelming and disappointing. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Band: ║ │ │║ Dann Huff û lead vocals and guitars ║ │ │║ Mike Brignardello û bass and vocals ║ │ │║ David Huff û drums and vocals ║ │ │║ Alan Pasqua û keyboards and vocals ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Additional Musicians: ║ │ │║ Terry Thomas û background vocals ║ │ │║ Peter Howarth û background vocals ║ │ │║ Lea Hart û background vocals ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │╔═════════════════════╗ │ │║ Release Tracklist ║ │ │╚═════════════════════╩══════════════════════════════════════════ │ │ │ │ 1.
