5.0 out of 5 stars Precious Time, February 6, 2007

By	BARBARA L. FURLICH (SIOUX CITY, IOWA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is Pat Benatar at her finest! From Promises in the Dark to her excellent cover of the Beatles Helter Skelter this album is great from beginning to end and perfect to take along on a road trip. It will keep you rocking from beginning to end. If you don't own anything else by her, this is the album to start your collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pat Benatar's Third Great Album In A Row, November 5, 2006

By	The Footpath Cowboy "rockerusa2002" (Kingston, NY United States) - See all my reviews

PRECIOUS TIME is Pat Benatar's third great CD in a row. "Promises In The Dark" is about betrayal and deceit, and the title song, could in the wake of the trumped-up 2005 Indonesian drug-smuggling conviction of a young Australian tourist, be interpreted as a woman telling her boyfriend, "If you won't change our honeymoon from Bali to Hawaii, I'm getting rid of you." This album, which seems influenced by Steve Miller circa BOOK OF DREAMS, Ted Nugent's first three albums, and the harder side of Heart, was Benatar's last great album. She put out some excellent ones after this, but never quite attained the quality and consistency of the first three again.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pat's Best, July 23, 2009

By	T. Mandelcorn "ReadinFAST" (RC, California) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I was helping my little 3 year old daughter build some legos the other afternoon, and out of the blue she started singing, 'heartbreaker, dream maker, love taker, don't ya messa around me', off key but I immediately recognized it. I sat her in front of youtube to watch a video of Pat and she was in awe. Very cute indeedy. But watchin those vids brought back some great memories and I had to get the album. I once had almost all of them on vinyl and wow, to rock to them again in 2009 . . . damn, Precious Time rocked! Prolly the best of all of them. There are 9 songs on this album and 9 songs on this album rock. Thanks Ms Benatar for this timeless creation.
