Independent review

On the second album of the collaboration between Ken Hensley and the group Live Fire, we have a heavier and rougher sound, but again considerably pulling in the direction of Uriah Heep. As well as a new vocalist Roberto Tiranti (former vocalist of the group Labyrinth, known also as Rob Tyrant), who undoubtedly possesses his own voice, however, he sometimes takes on Byron-esque intonations. Apparently at Hensley's command. Also here there is less vocal work from Hensley himself. I do not know if that is good or bad. We all love the voice in Lady in black, don't we? Of 10 compositions, literally a couple can be skipped, and even then they do not seem superfluous. Since the time of UH, Ken has tried like this for the first time. It is felt that a flow of inspiration has directly descended upon the distinguished rocker. Ready to die, It, Please explain – these are only the blossoms. Trouble – a composition straight from the 70s. Todo Loco – a magnificent track, echoing Rainbow demon. I don’t know – powerful-epic with wonderful vocalizations. For lovers of hit-heavier stuff - the hit Dangerous desire. And the whole of this extravaganza ends with the final duet of Hensley and Tiranti - The longest night. Everything is in its place and there is almost nothing superfluous. This album would not have been lost even in the 70s.
