4.0 out of 5 stars Decent rock; but is this really Bad Company?, May 14, 2003

By	Brad (CT) - See all my reviews

This album got some decent airplay in the late 1980s on rock stations; understandable, since it fit the sound of the times with that polished, melodic guitar rock sound. Certainly not the best of that genre, but pretty decent. However, it is not at all like the Paul Rodgers-era Bad Company. Brian Howe is now on vocals, and the style is totally different.

"One Night" is a solid rocker to lead off the album that got some airplay. "Shake It Up" is generic and a marginal song. "No Smoke Without A Fire" is a fine rocking song that got a lot of airplay. The title track is catchy and a lot of fun. "Rock Of America" is a good melodic anthem. "Something About You" is a nice ballad--the only one on the album.

I do like this album and its follow-up "Holy Water" of a couple of years later. (The rest of the Brian Howe Bad Company era is marginal in my book.) Just don't expect that classic sound of the '70s but simply some decent late '80s polished rock and roll.

5.0 out of 5 stars OK, This is not the OLD Bad Company, but it's GREAT, April 24, 2002

By	Birdgirl "Birdgirl" (Michigan) - See all my reviews

If you are one of those people that mourns the loss of their "band" when they go and change their format through the years by becoming more mainstream and not "rockin' like they used to"......think REO Speedwagon, Aerosmith, Metallica, U2,....then this CD is NOT for you. The songs on this CD don't even sound like the same band that did "Can't Get Enough of Your Love." But, put your feelings of betrayal aside--I know it's hard, I'm still mourning the loss of the old Metallica myself--and check this out. Not the same sound but the same great guitar jammin', drum bangin', and music composin'. Keep in mind: it got A LOT of airplay went it came out.

4.0 out of 5 stars Play it loud in your favorite topless bar!, October 28, 1999

By	Bete Noire (Vancouver, Canada) - See all my reviews

We are confronted here with a very in-your-face incarnation of Bad Company that owes more to AC/DC than to the Paul Rodgers era;this album comes as a total surprise-great riffs,smokin'grooves,top notch vocals from Brian Howe:one helluva ride!
