...Twice Shy is the fourth studio album by American rock band Great White. It was released in 1989 and contained the biggest hits of their career, a cover of Ian Hunter's "Once Bitten, Twice Shy" and "The Angel Song", which reached No. 5 and No. 30 on the Billboard Hot 100, respectively. Another single, "House of Broken Love", was inspired by the painful relationship break-ups that vocalist Jack Russell and guitarist Mark Kendall had recently gone through. The album was certified double platinum by the RIAA in September 1989. This is the first album to feature bassist Tony Montana.
Critical reception
David Spodek, reviewer of RPM, complained about the lack of originality. As per him "the main problem is that the original material is missing that something special to distinguish it from the rest of the heavy metal crop, and that may result in getting lost in the crowd". As a result Spodek called it "just another heavy metal album" and regretfully stated that the best cut on the album is a cover of Ian Hunter's "Once Bitten, Twice Shy."
Allmusic rated the album 4 stars out of 5, saying it was the band's best effort and featured a good mix of "impressive originals" and carefully chosen cover songs.
