Trixter’s 1992 album “Hear” is often considered an underrated gem from the tail end of the glam/hard rock era. While it didn’t achieve the massive commercial success of their 1990 self-titled debut, “Hear”is musically deeper, more mature, and shows significant growth in songwriting and musicianship.

Here’s why “Hear” is great — and arguably even better than it’s given credit for:

⸻

🔥 Musical Evolution
• Hear moves beyond the pop-metal sheen of their debut into a more guitar-driven, slightly heavier and blues-influenced direction.
• Steve Brown’s guitar work & songwriting is more refined and inventive, and PJ Farley’s bass tone punches through with more confidence.
• Songs like “Road of a Thousand Dreams,” “Runaway Train,” and “As the Candle Burns” show emotional range and a band growing into itself.

⸻

🎤 Vocals & Lyrics
• Pete Loran delivers stronger, more dynamic vocal performances, tapping into soulful tones that weren’t as prominent on the debut.
• The lyrics reflect a more mature, introspective edge—songs about heartbreak, struggle, perseverance.

⸻

🎶 Standout Tracks
• “Road of a Thousand Dreams” – Anthemic, hook-laden, with a killer groove.
• “As the Candle Burns” – A beautifully crafted ballad with haunting melodies.
• “Blood Rock” – Shows their heavier side and Steve’s riff mastery.
• “Waiting in that Line” – A standout deep cut that fans often praise as one of their best.

⸻

📉 Why It Was Overlooked
• Unfortunately, Hear was released during the rise of grunge—1992 was the year of Nevermind, Ten, and Dirt. Bands like Trixter got unfairly pushed aside by labels and media.
• Despite strong songwriting and performances, it didn’t get the push it deserved from the industry.

⸻

🤘 Legacy & Fan Appreciation
• Among Trixter fans, “Hear”is considered a cult classic—a favorite for those who dig deeper than the MTV singles.
• Musicians and rock aficionados often cite it as a hidden treasure of early ’90s melodic hard rock.

⸻

Verdict:
👉 Trixter’s “Hear” isn’t just a good follow-up—it’s a fantastic hard rock record with heart, grit, and great songs that deserved a much better shot. If released a few years earlier, it might’ve been a huge hit.
