Pull is the third studio album by the American hard rock band Winger , released in 1993 .
background
The band's second album, In The Heart Of The Young, released in 1991 , had reached number 15 on the American Billboard charts and had sold two million in the US alone by the end of the year and, like the debut album , had reached platinum status . In the Heart of the Young also contained three single hits: Can't Get Enough (# 42), the ballad Miles Away (# 12) and Easy Come Easy Go (# 41). Winger then went on tour in support of artists such as KISS , the Scorpions , Extreme , ZZ Top and Slaughter .
Pull was created in the Secret Sound - South Pacific studios in 1992 and 1993 . It was created by Mike Shipley produced and brought a sonic turning with it. The group turned away from the previously practiced radio and pop-oriented production and now also picked up heavy metal and progressive elements ( Junkyard Dog ). Pull was less commercially successful than its predecessor, reaching number 83 on the Billboard 200 .
As a guest musician worked Andreas Vollenweider (sound effects on Junkyard Dog (Tears on Stone) ), Alex Acuna ( percussion instruments on Like a ritual and Who's the One ) and Frank Latorre (harmonica Down Incognito with album) in the development.

reception
Oliver Klemm from Rock Hard magazine wrote that Kip Winger was “going astray” with Pull . The album contains “texts with a serious touch” (Klemm named Blind Revolution Mad and In For The Kill as examples ), plus a sound that aims “to scare away the so far loyal regular audience” . The "melodies for the millions of American girlies" were "practically obsolete" , the "proven airplay-suitable singalongs according to the scheme F" are only a marginal topic on Pull , which "in exceptional cases" [...] "is rather timid" report. Instead, singer Kip Winger, whose organ sounds "like Joe Elliot" over long stretches of the album, was surprising with a song that "got by without a hookline" ( In My Veins ), an "acoustic number without the usual lard" ( Who's The One ) and a track ( Junkyard Dog ) that comes along "thanks to a Mustaine-like riff almost like the light version of an unreleased Megadeth knocker" . "Pull" will therefore "flop mercilessly" because: "miles away from" Miles Away "and so" . This is "sad but true".
