I have stated in a previous post how underrated this band is. They have a great singer and the musicians are really great. What separated these guys from a lot of other 80's bands was how uplifting they were. Unlike how most bands were about partying and rebelling, these guys were about lifting people up and making someone feel good. They did have some partying and rebelling songs, but overall they were about lighting up someones mood. One song that makes that very clear is their song (Intuition).
The first thing I love is the opening guitar riff in this song. It has a good heavy rock sound that really hooks you into the song. The guitar solo in this song is also very good. It has a great melodic, European inspired sound that is really catchy and actually very unique for 80's. The best part of this song is in the vocals. Tony Harnell with his high vocal range creates a very good uplifting vocal melody. He is also a very energetic in his singing and that really helps the listener to get more engaged in the song. There are also some keyboard parts in the song as well that really helps to post the positive feel of the song. You don't hear keyboards in the entire song, but when it comes in, it really helps shape the feel of the song. Musically, TNT did a fantastic job on this song.
Lyrically, this song is about being who you are and appreciating who you are. It is about not doubting yourself and never letting people tell you differently. The message is really good and very uplifting, if you are in a bad mood then these lyrics will get you in a good mood. Along with a good message, the lyrics are constructed very well. The phrases flow well and as a result, the singer can communicate the message more clearly and effectively.
This song is one of the best songs I have every listened to from this band. The music is great, the lyrics are uplifting and very well written. Tony Harnell is a very good singer and this song brings out one of his best vocal performances. Even today, the guy is still a fantastic singer. I give Intuition a 4.5 out of 5.
