I think they're both good but Barracuda is more impressive. Alone has more effects, including her voice being triple layered at the end when she wails the last "alone" lyric.
As a bonus here is Roger Fisher's isolated guitar for Barracuda.
I just recently discovered that there are isolated vocal tracks from many artists on YouTube. For those who don't know what the term refers to, it's just the raw vocal track without any of the instrumentation so you can hear every syllable and every breath the singer utters.
Some of these...
This is a really old, well-written review but what motivated me to post is just how good that video of Cook with Fire is. For people who never "got" Heart in the 80s when they were singing hair metal and power ballads, that Cook with Fire video shows exactly what was great about this band...

When I hear that song and compare it to rock classics like Crazy on You, Magic Man, and Barracuda I just shake my head. Hell, it even makes their worst 80s stuff sound great by comparison.
Some would call this just plain bad, but I have to admit I liked it as a kid when it was first released. The badly dated video doesn't help it's cause.
I definitely don't consider these guilty pleasures. I think of things like KC and the Sunshine Band, The Carpenters, Bonnie Tyler, Meatloaf (anything after Bat out of Hell), Cher, etc as guilty pleasures.
WASP - Running Wild: This is one of my favorite tunes by them. It's clearly 80s, but doesn't sound too badly beaten by the Bon Jovi stick. 8.5/10

This is a good album and the band sounds good, but in Alone Ann's vocals had to be overdubbed which is disappointing (there are Youtube videos comparing the DVD version of Alone to the actual performance that someone recorded on their cell phone. Ann didn't sound good on the actual but sounds...
It defintely appears Heart is done for at this point. Apparently the sisters haven't spoken to each other since the end of last year's tour. RIP Heart.
There are rumors that Heart has or is disbanding because of the dust up in August between Ann's husband and Nancy's sons. There were also rumors posted on Heart's official message board that lawyers were involved on both sides to determine who, how, when the Heart name could be used by either...
That's a bit of an overreaction. Yes, they sold out and they are the first to admit it. But they weren't bubble gum unless the only thing you listened to were a few of the hit singles. All three of those huge selling late 80s/early 90 albums had some good material on them, but only power...
