German
band Bonfire celebrates their 20th anniversary with studio album
number ten. I must admit that I’m only familiar with their two first
albums and then I lost track and interest in them. So I was a little
disappointed when I received this album in the first place… but
already after a few spins I was hooked.
“Double
X” is packed with memorable songs… and one of them is called “But
We Still Rock”… and they sure do Rock on this album. We get 12 songs…
12 very good songs with everything from Melodic Rock to up-tempo Heavy
Rock filled with memorable choruses. One of my favourite tracks is
“Rap is Crap”, a controversial song where Bonfire critically and
sarcastically deals with this kind of music. And Bonfire is
right…. Rap is crap!
The
production is good and I recommend this album to all Hard Rock and
Melodic Heavy Rock fans out there.
Okay,
I have one complain… Track ten “Hard to Say” is a little too close
to a KISS song called “Hard Luck Woman”… but that’s it.
Still a very good album from Bonfire.
Killer
tracks: “Day 911”, “Bet Your Bottom Dollar”, “Rap is Crap”
& “So what”.
