5 out of 5 stars Yes, The Queens of Noise.......2007-07-11

The Runaways' probably break some noise records with their second album. This band is: Joan Jett, Sandy West, Cherie Currie, Lita Ford, and Jackie Fox. Although many people nowadays haven't heard of them, I can quarantee that they were the best girl rock band ever! Cherie Currie is at least as good vocalist as for example Doro from Warlock. Both are great singers and both can use their voices in different situations...whether it is ballad or real upbeat rock song. It is quite funny that Lita Ford doesn't sing in this album...in fact she is the only one who doesn't sing background vocals although she has had a great solo carriere with songs like "Kiss Me Deadly", "Hungry", and "Close My Eyes Forever" (with Ozzy Osbourne). Well, all the band members are great singers and they play very good their guitars and drums.

"Queens of Noise" is a great album...maybe it is better than their first one but I think both records are great. They both sound quite "innocent" albums. They have that original rock sound. So, if you liked the first album, you probably like this one too. The songs "Queens of Noise", "Take It Or Leave It", "I Love Playin' With Fire", and the upbeat song "Neon Angels on the Road to Ruin It" are quaranteed to be excellent rock songs. Also the tracks "Hollywood" and "California Paradise" are great ones. They are already small signs of the commercial sound and losing the original innocence. "Johnny Guitar" is the only weak link in this album. It is very long and boring...the reason why this isn't so perfect. The slower songs "Heartbeat" and "Midnight Music" are great and excellent songs..."Heartbeat" is quite an erotic song lyrically but quite scary and erotic musically. It creeps me when I listen to it. "Born to Be Bad" is quite a raw song. It has it slower and raw moments: "Cause I Was Born to Be Bad. I'm Not Sad But I'm Glad I Did It. Born to Be Bad. I'm Not Sad Why Don't You All Get With It. By the way, my favourite lyrics in this album is "Your Eyes Are Sparkling With Teenage Fire. I'll Satisfy Your Made Desires Cause I Love Playing With Fire And I Don't Wanna Get Burned..."

4 out of 5 stars the second attempt.......2006-11-10

Maybe technically slicker than their first album with some truly time enduring tracks. Not quite as much exuberance as their live album or the first one but a must have for any Runaways fan.

4 out of 5 stars Runaways - 'Queens Of Noise' (Cherry Red).......2006-05-06

Originally released in 1977,this was THE '70's all-female band's third effort.Melodic,yet hard edged rock,with that 'girl's night out' vibe to it.Choice cuts are the title track "Queens Of Noise","Neon Angels(On The Road To Ruin)","California Paradise" and the in-your-face "Johnny Guitar".Line-up:Lita Ford-guitar&vocals,Joan Jett-guitar&vocals,Cherie Currie-lead vocals,Jackie Fox-bass and Sandy West-drums.Should appeal to fans of Girlschool,L7,The Donnas and Hole.Semi-recommended.

5 out of 5 stars Neon Angels.......2005-11-13

Glam, punk, metal and 60s girl-group music all at once. The original Teen Queens of the Glitterati. Too bad they never had a movie.

5 out of 5 stars I didn't know what I was missing..........2005-08-08

...for all of these years. You know when you hear about something, in this case a band, and always mean to give it a listen? I finally did. I love this band. Joan Jett has a sharper edge on her Runaways stuff (which I love) then on her solo records. The drummer (Sandy West) is amazing - her playing actually blew me away just a little more than Lita's 17 year old guitaring. Singing of teen angst among great, strong drums and rhythm guitar. Mysterious ballads from Cherie Currie, with smoky, sexy vocals (MUCH better than her awful solo stuff), and a wild album cover to boot. The opening track is amazing, Joan singing the title track. My other favorites are "Neon Angels on the Road to Ruin", "Hollywood" (Joan is TOTALLY punk rock on it), and Take it or Leave it (wild, screeching back-up vocals---great!)

    5 out of 5 stars Way ahead of the times.......2002-09-03

    "Queens of Noise", the second album by The Runaways, is probably the best of all the albums. I know it is one of my all-time favorite albums. This is straight-ahead rock n roll. Litas lead-guitar licks are as good any males, if not better. Joans rhythm guitar playing and animalistic growls are what real rock n roll is all about. The rhythm section of Jackie Fox (bass) and Sandy West (drums) are faultless. Cherie Currie shows off her vocals nicely on the ballads "Midnight Music" and "Heatbeat". This line-up is the best and probably best remembered. I'm still hoping for that Runaways reunion. By the way, does anyone out there know what ever happened to Jackie Fox? She was always my favorite Runaway. If you want good straight-ahead rock n roll, then by ths album. You won't be sorry.

    4 out of 5 stars Erfolgreichste LP der Runaways in Europa.......2001-10-28

    Queens of noise: Harter Titel mit tollem Riff, im Gegensatz die "mellow voice" von Cherry Curry
    I love playing wit fire - geradlinig, stürmisch, charmant,
    Hearbeat - gefühlvolle Ballade, schöner Text über junge Liebe, untermalt mit Lita Fords schweren Gitarrenklängen.
    - Neon Angels: harter Sound, einprägsame Gitarrenläufe, wie das meiste andere Material handelt der Song vom Teenager-Dasein, was die Mädchen von ca 17 aus eigenem Erleben ehrlich berichten konnten.

    Die Gruppe bekam recht viel Publicity und Airplay im Radio und den Jugendzeitschriften Deutschlands. Bravo besuchte jedes Mitglied in Kalifornien und brachte 5 Special Stories über Sandy, Cherry, Lita, Joan und Vicky heraus 1977.

    Die ganze Platte klingt ehrlich dynamisch, hat gute Kompositionen und ist studiotechnisch etwas besser produziert als das - ebenfalls empfehlenswerte - Debüt "The Runaways".

    Meines Wissen waren die Runaways die erste Mädchen-Gruppe dieser Art. Diese LP ist mit dem Debüt von Suzy Quatro 1973 mein Favorit von female-records of the Seventies.

    Ich freue mich, daß die Runaways nach so vielen Jahren auch viele Internetseiten in den USA haben.

    4 out of 5 stars The Queens of Noise, Indeed.......2000-04-20

    I used to love this album and the follow ups by The Runaways. This was well before they went on their own into acting (Cherie Currie) and solo careers (Joan and Lita). I recall the first time I heard Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, thinking I know that voice! And the first Lita Ford album, I know those guitar licks! They all went on to bigger and better things, but this was the beginning and I highly recommend it for any of their fans. Lots of fun, Playing with Fire should have become a Rock & Roll standard! The recording quality is not what it could have been, but it is fun to listen to, nonetheless.

    5 out of 5 stars Queen of Noise.......1999-12-01

    This is the sophomore release of the all-girl band from California featuring a 16 year-old Joan Jett and 17 year-old Lita Ford. Although this album received massive attention in Europe, it went virtually unnoticed in the United States which is pretty amazing considering The Runaways were the first all-girl band to write, arrange, and play rock and roll.

    5 out of 5 stars The Quintessential Session.......1999-06-03

    The Runaways got a lot of press back in their heyday. People either loved 'em or hated 'em for their own reasons. The Runaways may only be remembered as a bad thing to some but there were plenty of us that totally dug their music, and it wasn't such a bad thing that they were all pretty "foxy" to boot. They had fans like myself who will always cherish those days gone by. When I hear songs like "California Paradise" it reminds me of seeing The Runaways play The Whiskey or The Starwood. This album brings back so many great memories of my youth living in the San Fernando Valley. Now I'm a geek working in the Silicon Valley and only The Runaways can revitalize what's missing in my life. What I really loved about The Runaways on this record was how Cherie Currie sang most of the mellow stuff and Joan Jett sang mostly the harder rock and roll stuff, and then they'd switch! It's still exciting to hear Joan sing soft, and then hear Cherie rock out on this record. And I don't have to remind you how mind-blowing it was to witness these teenage girls (who could have been my classmates at SFVH if they weren't rock stars instead) play some explosive rock and roll, especially Lita Ford and her impressive guitar work. I love this whole entire record, but if I had to chose only a few as my favorites: "I Love Playin' With Fire" "Hollywood" "Queens of Noise" and "Take It or Leave It". The Runaways can still rock this ex-teenager's world.
