Good one with also its downsides. The original comment tells more than me right now:

Jackal (DK) - 1990 - Rise

One of the few Danish bands I listened to recently and I had hoped to write something better about it. Musically and vocally the band sounds very capable and the production couldn't be much better than this. The problem here is the glam influences in the lyrics and songwriting and the clichés that come with them. Still really good record and for a rather unknown band it's impossible to judge it too harshly. Maybe on the next record they will take a truer approach? 7,5/10

Really good album with excellent production and great sounding riffs, but not on par with Vague Visions. I think Jope already said everything above, so I don't have much to add. The songs could and should be more ballsy.
