SLIP OF THE TONGUE is the eighth studio album by the British hard rock band Whitesnake, released on 7th November 1989 in the US by Geffen Records and 13th November 1989 in the UK by EMI. It was the final studio album to be released through Geffen as they were dropped from the label after The Greatest Hits Tour by the end of 1994. After the success of 1987’s Whitesnake album, which when eight times Platinum in the US alone, former Deep Purple vocalist David Coverdale took the band’s look and direction a stage further for 1989’s SLIP OF THE TONGUE. As a stand alone album, this is a fantastic set, but was always in danger of living in the shadow of 1987. The image if a highlight fuelled perm with drawn-in cheeks seems a prerequisite for the line-up. The sound had more in common with an over polished Led Zeppelin than Whitesnake’s own blues roots, and it divided fans, the Stateside success drawing in more new fans than it lost. Although credited, Vandenberg, who, like Vivian Campbell, came in to replace Sykes when the band went American, does not play on the album due to surgery on a hand injury, so Steve Vai was brought in to complete all the guitar parts, but Vandenberg did co-write several songs. Additional work was recorded by keyboard player David Rosenthal and backing vocalist and former Deep Purple bandmate Glenn Hughes, but much of this didn’t make the final cut. The change in the band’s sound is highlighted on the reworking of ‘'Fool For Your Loving'’. A great listen, better if you don’t know the original. A vastly underrated gem from Whitesnake, SLIP OF THE TONGUE may be slightly past their prime, but it is a grand swansong before the band's temporary 90's breakup.

Whitesnake were a bit of an oddity in the 80's glam scene, creating edgy rockers and power ballads. Whitesnake's records still went on to sell like hot cakes and their bluesy edge spiced up their style instead of being the focal point in their music. One could listen to their music for any mood. You get those edgy, dirty tracks, laced in with a hint of serious subject matter and the obligatory dose of love balladry. Who didn't have that back then? By the time 1989's SLIP OF THE TONGUE came around, Whitesnake were on top of the world, embarking on their largest concert tour at the time and performing all over the globe. The reception of the album itself, unfortunately, wasn't all too great for its general departure from the normal Whitesnake sound. One of the biggest differences is in the guitar work, handled here by Steve Vai instead of Adrian Vandenberg. With Vai at the helm of the guitar work, the album gives off more of a "shredder" vibe, with solos flying in every direction while the vocal work by David Coverdale cuts a path of its own. Meanwhile, the rhythm section are definitely above average, but take the back seat most of the time as Coverdale and Vai battle each other on the frontlines of the production. Few albums are perfect, however, and SLIP OF THE TONGUE is certainly not perfect. However, this thing is still highly recommended in the long run, as it captures a different side of a band whose works have been consistently solid but not always too risk-taking. When this album works, it's absolutely amazing. And guess what? There are quite a few of those very moments. Pick this up, and you could be very pleasantly surprised.
