Pull (Winger Album)
''Pull'' is the third studio album by American rock band Winger. The album was released in 1993 by Atlantic Records. It was produced by Mike Shipley on a considerable budget and marked a significant change in Winger's sound, eschewing their glam metal anthems prevalent in their first two albums for a harder and more aggressive style of music with a good dose of socio-political leanings on tracks like "Blind Revolution Mad", "In for the Kill" and "Who's the One". The material was also less commercial and radio-friendly, evident especially in the track "Junkyard Dog (Tears on Stone)" incorporating contemporary heavy metal and progressive elements and clocking in at 6:54. The album is often regarded as the favourite among the group's fans, but in terms of sales figures the album was not as successful as the two first albums, peaking at #83 on Billboard's Album chart. However, the lead single "''Down Incognito''" reached #15 on the Mainstream rock Billboard chart. ''Pull'' was rec ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

The album itself peaked at #15 at the album chart. Winger followed the release of the album with a 13-month world tour, playing with other heavy metal groups such as Kiss, Scorpions, Extreme, Slaughter, and with hard rock group ZZ Top.
