Moscow Сalling (titled Gorky Park 2 in many countries, including Russia) is the second album by Russian rock band Gorky Park. It was released between 1992 and 1993. Four music videos were made for the album: " Moscow Calling", "Stranger", "I’m Going Down" and "Tell Me Why".
After Nikolai Noskov left the band in 1990, bassist Alexander Minkov took over as lead vocalist.[ citation needed] AllMusic's Jason Anderson notes his "faux Joe Elliot vocals" and overall finds the album "at times extremely reminiscent of Pyromania-era Def Leppard". [1]
The album went completely unnoticed in the U.S., where the band's MTV hit " Bang" was long forgotten by most rock enthusiasts and the taste of the audience had changed, but was well received in other countries. It sold 500,000 copies outside the United States, [1] [2] notably becoming Platinum in Denmark. [3]
