Rating: - Excelente reedicion!
Por fin despues de varios años,reeditan los 3 primeros trabajos de esta banda californiana en la que se incluyen miembros que son hermanos de 2 componentes de Quiet Riot, Tony Cavazo (bajo) y Robert Sarzo (guitarra), asi como el vocalista Kelly Hansen (actualmente en Foreigner, ex Unruly Child) y Jay Schellen a la bateria, "Over the Edge", es su primer album completo con buenas canciones como el tema titulo y "I'm on to You" producidos por Mike Clink (Guns and Roses), tratando de lanzar con fuerza a esta banda que no tuvo el exito esperado, pero que nos dejo una buena impresion a finales de los 80 y principios de los 90. Una buena adicion para los coleccionistas del rock ochentero con melodia y comercialidad pero con calidad en interpretacion. Recomiendo tambien los otros dos discos reeditados (Take what you Want EP 86(misma formacion)y Slave to the Thrill ''90 (ya con Doug Aldrich a la guitarra (Ex.Lion y Whitesnake). Reedicion remasterizada y en forma de mini-lp.

Rating: - Singer needs a better band
A respectable album. This band might have made it but timing and luck weren't on their side. Some songs are fun in the typical 80's way. The vocal quality is intense- heads above those 80's sleaze rockers like Vince Neil and Brett Michaels but the songwriting is weak. The first three songs are solid (I personally love the cover of "I'm Eighteen"). 4.5 stars to the singer 2.5 stars to the rest of the band.

Rating: - Great album, AMAZING remaster
1988's Over the Edge is the first full-length album from Hurricane, which featured vocal powerhouse Kelly Hansen (who would later go on to front Unruly Child and Foreigner). Hurricane's style was somewhere between Warrant and House of Lords. It was hard hitting, but very melodic.

The songs on Over the Edge stuck pretty close to the love song/rock anthem formula that was so common with these kinds of bands, but never got too clichéd - there's no "Cherry Pie" moment here. All of the songs are fairly strong, but the cover of Alice Cooper's "I'm Eighteen" and the catchy as hell single "I'm On To You" are the album's highlights. Over the Edge's odd moments are the extraordinarily poppy "Give Me an Inch" and the "hidden" final track "Baby Snakes", which is essentially a guy repeatedly calling (stalking?) a girl on the phone while Hurricane's music plays in the background.

Overall, this is a very good album, and one that most hair metal/melodic rock fans will want to hear, especially now that it has been reissued. Not only is this previously impossible to find CD back in print, but it features crystal clear digitally remastered sound. If you already have Over the Edge on CD and are wondering whether this reissue is worthwhile, believe me when I say that the remastering is nothing short of incredible.
