NIGHT HAWKS no satisfaction SRCL2357

Let’s explore a 1992 release from the Japanese rock band Night Hawks, their studio album “No Satisfaction.” Issued on the Sony Records label with the catalog number SRCL 2357, this CD captures the band returning with a new original album after a two-year gap. This particular copy includes the original obi strip.

“No Satisfaction” is often praised by fans as a high point in the band’s discography, marking a shift from their earlier, more Whitesnake-influenced hard rock. This album delivers a powerful, “thick-boned” rock sound, famously kicking off with the roar of a Harley-Davidson engine.

The 9-track album, including the title track, “Take My Heart,” “Speed,” and “Justice,” is seen as finding a perfect balance. It’s tough and heavy, yet refined, showcasing a universal rock appeal that perfectly suits the band’s “shibui” (gruff/cool) style and highlights the charm of their vocalist.

SRCL 2357 stands as a mature, well-balanced album, capturing Night Hawks delivering a high-quality, powerful rock sound that stands apart from their earlier work.
