Great music from early ninties
Giant, was a head of their time, or should I say, at the end of their time. Pop metal was just replaced by grunge. This, was the best of it's kind and I have many fond memories listening to this music as a young man in my twenties.

Time to Rock!
"Session Supergroup" Giant was formed by some of the most sought after backing musicians in the business, including singer/guitarist Dann Huff, his brother Dave on drums, guitarist Mike Brignardello, and bassist Alan Pasqua. After working with a wide array of artists from Whitesnake to Madonna, as well as spending time in Christian rock band White Heart, the Huff brothers put together Giant and took the melodic rock world by storm. 1992's Time to Burn was the band's second album, and it took a harder-edged approach than 1989's Last of the Runaways did. It's still a very melodic album, and there are plenty of keyboards, but the album overall packs a bit more punch. This heavier sound is evident right from the start, with powerhouse opener Thunder and Lightning and the hard-hitting Chained. More melodic songs like Stay and Save Me Tonight have the same feel as the debut album. Time to Burn, with its perfect blend of hair metal heaviness and AOR polish, reminds me a lot of what Bad English and Damn Yankees were doing at the time. Unfortunately with the advent of the grunge movement, Giant, no longer welcome on mainstream radio and MTV, ended up calling it a day soon after this album was released. Dan Huff remained busy with session and production work, but was able to resurrect Giant in 2001 for the appropriately titled third release III. I don't think it's quite at the same level as Last of the Runaways, but Time to Burn is still one of my favorite melodic rock albums. It's another first class melodic rock offering from one of the best bands in the genre. Anyone interested in AOR, melodic rock, and/or 80's rock should definitely check it out, especially while it is still available brand new for cutout prices.

Oh man, this is some hot music!!
Please buy this album so you don't miss out on one of the greatest albums of all time. Seriously, this music is perfectly written and performed by a very professional band. Dann Huff is one of the best guitarists of all time and his singing is so passionate it's unbelievable. I'm not going to write too much more except to say that this is right up there with the best melodic rock ever made. Listen and enjoy!!

wow
I never thought Giant had it in them. Their first alblum was pretty good and usually everyone's first was pretty good. But along came the sophomore slump and that just doesn't exist on time to burn. It is by far their best effort heads above last of the runaways. Wtih songs like thunder and lightning, stay, i'll be there Giant has won me over. I would suggest that if you don't have it, get it a great set of songs from a group that should of been around longer than they were.

Time is an Illusion but this music impressed me a lot
If your waiting on Texas radio to catch up to California, you'll likely wait forever. This band, though supurbly excellent in talent, ability, and original spirit, the prejudice of recording contracts against them has proven rather Contra Bonos Mores and fraught with corporate incompetence.......but this music shines on in spite of such lack of proper backing and equal air time on the FM airwaves. Though devote Christians, these guys don't preach, they share a piece of life like all good bands do. They inspire you to thoughts of positive energy with some awesome guitar, bass, keyboards and drums and sculpt the mood of different atmospheres both domestic and foreign (check out III which contains some live tracks). You will not be disappointed and you can say I said so, so let's get some air play with this "nationwide". One of those hidden jewels from California "lessons in life".
