Canadian rockers April Wine reaches their most creative and commercial peak with their ninth studio album, The Nature of the Beast. Like any good wine, they got better with age-going platinum over tunes like "Sign of the Gypsy Queen", "All Over Town" and their career defining power ballad, "Just Between You and Me". Unfortunately, April Wine's luck ran out as they lost steam and faded into obscurity.

Harder.... Faster
As suggested by its title, April Wine kicks it up a notch with relentless slabs of hard rock. Tunes like "I Like to Rock" and "Ladies Man" sets the stage here. There is a curious cover of King Crimson's "21st Century Schizoid Man," on this album. Ultimately, this is a consistently strong album which sets the stage for what would be April Wine's next album...Wednesday, May 25, 2011
First Glance
April Wine was one the bands that critics loved to hate. Well, they are not exactly challenging or cutting-edge. These Canadian rockers' mission was to pull the listener in with infectious grooves and hooks and enable him/her to escape.
