4.0 out of 5 stars The Raging Fire is Raging Hot!, May 19, 2004

Since the first cd was so good,(4.5 stars), and after reading some negative reviews, I thought I might be dissapointed in this one. Hardly the case. This is a good cd. Contrary to other opinions, I think it gets better as it goes. The first two songs seem to be transitions from the first cd, then it really gets interesting, with taste of Ozzie, Def Leppard, and White Snake. The songs, It Should Have Been You and Winds of War are classic. Winds of War sounds like it could be a Kansas song. The bonus track, though a good song, is just that, as it does not mix well with the other songs. Overall, the songs on this cd are better than the first cd minus the all-star musicians, though the musicians here are great especially Mike Slammer. 4.5 stars

3.0 out of 5 stars the good, the bad, and the better, April 24, 2004

This actually started out very good, particularly the first four songs. They are just really good AOR with just the slightest hint of prog. Seriously, very good stuff. The Raging Fire was a good song, but starting with that song, the cd makes a pretty quick decline. Sin City is really bad, as is It Should Have Been You. The key is, if you are putting filler in a cd, don't put them three songs in a row; it completely kills the momentum that has been built to that point. When Run started, I thought it might break the filler pattern, but it doesn't. While Pyramid Princess is ambitious, I think the song should have been saved for Kansas, but it's a good song, nonetheless. I'm not meaning to nitpick it. Winds of War is really good, too. In summary, this cd starts out really good, dies, and then ressurects itself into a decent cd. If you want to buy about six good songs, this is your cd, but make sure you want to suffer through some low parts.

4.0 out of 5 stars Higher expectation than I thought...., July 2, 2004

Well, when an artist releases a debut album, he wants to introduce his "Sound", then, the second one is to set what he has been done and make it better, not in this case, I felt a little disappointed (just a little...)in this The Raging Fire, less "rest-songs", less invited guests, less inspired melodies, the best ones are The Sun Will Rise and the hit Always From the Heart, the first one is still a "Classic", if you like it, you can also get "Power from Kansas", which is costing a budget around, if you wanna have this Raging Fire, go for US edition, which comes with an extra song, I bought the imported and missed it....(but I'll buy the US Ed. later, when the price falls down down down...eh-eh-eh...)
