4.0 out of 5 stars
A couple of less than average songs, and several great ones,
By Joel T. Gilliam (Greensboro, NC USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ice on Fire (Audio CD)
I really like this CD. To enjoy some of Elton's 80s work, you have to either enjoy that type of production that was employed in the music at the time, or simply get past it. Behind the production of this album, there are some classic Elton tunes. Cry to Heaven, Nikita, Wrap Her Up, Satellite, Candy by the Pound, and Shoot Down the Moon are great songs. A lot of folks may disagree with me on the last two, but I think they are fun and funky. If you like 80s music, you'll probably appreciate this CD.

Very Good,
By A Customer
This review is from: Ice on Fire (Audio CD)
Is this the best Captain Fantastic cd?..............NO. Is it a very good cd?..............Yes. That's the key. Never compare Elton John to himself.........Compare him to the other's on the radio. That's when you can start appreciating his brilliance even on a cd like Ice On Fire. It's Very Good.

Yet another masterpiece! Nikita and Wrap Her Up shine bright,
By Dennis F. Towle (Hayward, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ice on Fire (Audio CD)
On Fire is right! Elton John didn't receive enough acclaim for this 1985 album. Bernie Taupin and John teamed up, once again, for this collection of songs....and what resulted was more hits for them to add to their, already, impressive long list of Top 40 songs! Wrap Her Up is a clever dance hit with John and, guest singer, George Michael naming off the most beautiful and sexiest famous women in the world; whom they both fantasize of being with....for a cup of tea :) Nikita is the showstopper hit, and is my very favorite Elton John song to this date: 6/4/01! Nikita is a wonderful ballad....of a man proclaiming his love for a Russian female soldier who is alienated from him by way of a large fortress wall. The beautiful music and lyrics of Nikita are sheer perfection of John and Taupin; with George Michael adding his backing vocals superbly to this one-of-a-kind love song! I would recommend this album simply for these 2 songs alone....I also would suggest his "Greatest Hits 1976-1986" CD(which also feature these hits)! Get it here at Amazon.com! Peace.
