Dangerous Attraction is the debut album released by heavy metal band Lion.

The original album was released in Japan as an import. A remastered edition was released in 2017 and included "The Transformers (Theme)" single as a bonus track.

Critical reception

American magazine Cashbox reacted positively on the album's music with the comment "Fairly melodic, beat-heavy metal pop with hooky anthemic choruses to burn. Sets no new standards, but fits well in the genre."
