Lightning Strikes Again is the tenth studio album by the American heavy metal band Dokken. It was originally scheduled for release on October 24, 2007, in Japan and on October 29 worldwide, but was postponed until 2008. The album was eventually released in the UK on April 8, 2008 and in the US on May 13.[4][5] The album entered the Billboard Top 200 at No. 133, the band's best chart performance since 2004.[6] It received some of the best reviews since the band's classic era in the 1980s.
