5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome Rock 'n Roll!, September 24, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: In Heat (Audio CD)

The Black 'n Blue album "In Heat"is awesome rock 'n roll by far! This was the last album Black 'n Blue released before they broke up in 1988. KISS bassist Gene Simmons produced this album and did a good job. (Black 'n Blue guitarist Tommy Thayer is now touring as the Ace Frehley Spaceman persona on the KISS/Aerosmith tour.) The standout track on this album is the opening song, "Rock On". It is a strong song with a great story, an awesome way to open an album, and there are rocking guitar riffs at the beginning of the song by Black 'n Blue guitarists Tommy Thayer and Jef "Woop" Warner. Highly Recommended!

4.0 out of 5 stars Many Memorable Songs - Underrated Album, August 20, 2004

Ben Wand "I used to be cool..." (Gresham, OR United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: In Heat (Audio CD)

This is the band's fourth album, and the second to be produced by Gene Simmons. This is an underrated album - almost every song is strong and there are several that are "hits".

I picked this up on cassette when I was 15 in '87, and again recently on CD. I still enjoy it immensely.

Tracks:
Rock On: Great intro tune, excellent melody
Sight for Sore Eyes: A bit of a departure, okay tune
Heat it Up, Burn it Out: Great builds up, strong rhythm
Suspicious: Okay attempt at a radio friendly song
Snake: Great rocker
Live It Up: I remember they closed a concert with this one. One of the classics on this album.
Gimme Your Love: Another awesome song
Get Wise to the Rise: One of my favorite tunes of all time - can't beat the lyrics and killer beat
Great Guns of Fire: Awesome rockin' tune - faster paced
Stranger: Slow tune that isn't all that great. Would have preferred to end the album with Great Guns of Fire.

This is an awesome album and their most mature effort. All their albums are good but this is their best one overall. This one shows their energy, passion, and awesome musicianship. It's a shame they weren't more popular - this album would have gotten them there if they'd received more promotion.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Heat is on....., December 20, 2007

This review is from: In Heat (Audio CD)

Many people believe that this is the "weaker" of the 4 studio releases from Portland's much underrated rock band B'n'B.I beg to differ. While not as raw as their debut,and not as pop-rock as Without Love,In Heat,in my opinion is just as impressive as it's predecessor "Nasty Nasty". I believe that B'n'B were trying one last attempt to garner some mainstream attentiion,and for some reason,it never happened. How bands like Britny Fox,Kix,and Bulletboys were somewhat house hold metal names,where B'n'B was an afterthought,is beyond me.No,it's not heavy metal,but how can you not enjoy such tracks as Suspicious,Live it up,Heat it up...Burn it out,and of course get Wise to the Rise!Whether it's their first cd,their last,or anything in between,B'n'B have something for everyone. Give it a chance.
