Nothing in the whole album, compositions are complicated or stiff, that is unfortunately happening at many progressive bands, nothing hears as a puzzler everything comes like in some wide open party air, as expected lyrics are abstract, but final sense is about disorderly and sexicles immoral touches and on the loose states, a lot of glam metal's unwritten laws , like night places, dirty chics
Most critics fellows of the metallic genre, gonna accuse for airiness and all those who do not bear this tradition of hair metal,(because) you admit hair metal genre or not (that's the law) , also will accuse it of being filled with too much enjoyable tunes.
Truth thing is that, recording load overstuffed of catchy hooks,and at this release songs are more melodic than in previous releases,while besides the murderous riffs have been removed
about spotlight: (track _01) : 'I've Got the Fire: "The two guitarists create powerful riffs that cover up all the rest ,potential rhythms ,in regards lyrics has an abstract definition and erotic motif, it's appeal to something like mistress, all these made a defusing uplifting air but written in surreal poetry,aren't no meanings in particularly sense, about fires and most of other stir up words create this tough outburst!
about: (track -4):"Ecstasy :"Another glittering composition with strapping guitars even like a Guns & Roses intro,stuffed with a jubilant melody,all second hand prescriptions from forgotten "Sweet" !, and "Slade"! and some "Mud"!,also subject matter is synonym to a (criminal)dope,perhaps by accident or deliberately,but...it's a unique track which will be highlight of the whole album,
anoyher strong (track -08): "Breaking The Silence":It reminds pretty good "Sisters Of Mercy" and "Type O Negative", making overly melodic beat ,departing from metal to Pop,like gothic epic (hah!!) ,also,rests enough at it's own choruses to become threatening,the subject talks about some kind of metal troopers parade who were marching against the status-quo system to tear it down.
check out (track 03):"Somebody's Gotta Do It" : it's not just rhythmic,has overmuch strong beat,guitars not just follow ,instead urging,created a boom of rhythm and riffs,after choruses comes some super guitar solos, to make up the cerebral stroke
sweet and honey(track 11): "Heart Of Stone":the blouse of this case,a strong ballad, much noisy,alongside all guitars crying with long solos,make it even more mournful,for FM radio waves use .
