Album Notes Personnel: Bryan Adams (vocals, guitar, piano, keyboards); Keith Scott (guitar, background vocals); Jim Vallance (piano, synthesizer, percussion); Dave Pickell (piano); Tom Mandel (organ, keyboards); Robbie King (organ); Ian Stanley (keyboards); Dave Taylor (bass); Mickey Curry (drums).Recorded at Cliffhanger Studios, Vancouver, Canada.When he released INTO THE FIRE, Bryan Adams was an established and extremely successful rock & roller. Styles had changed over the decade, but Adams's brand of melodic hard rock was still very much in vogue, and even flourishing, as bands from Guns & Roses and Aerosmith to the so-called hair-metal bands made the power ballad a genre unto itself. Teaming up with longtime producer Bob Clearmountain and songwriting partner Jim Vallance, Adams sticks with this approach. Clearmountain brings his trademark ultra-clear, '80s-style production to the proceedings, especially evident on the gleaming title track. And the songs continue to mine the basic rock idiom. Yet Adams shows a desire to evolve. He looks at the lives of the working class a la Bruce Springsteen on "Another Day" and "Rebel," while "Remembrance Day" is a homage to World War Two soldiers. He even addresses Native American issues in "Native Son." Although the record doesn't feature what could be called a signature Bryan Adams song, the collection offers what any Bryan Adams record has: big drums, big guitars, lots of strong and memorable hooks, and that voice. | |||||||||||||||
Reviews Review created: 11/04/08 by: Everyone always says 'Reckless' if asked which Bryan Adams album they think is the best but i think his best work is on 'Into The Fire'. It's a very mature album with excellant deep dark songs like 'Remembrance Day', 'In The Heat Of The Night' and the brilliant title track (still my all time favorite song to this day) that will surprise you as they are nothing like anything else he has produced before or since. For the rock and roll fans there is 'Only The Strong Survive', a fantastic high energy heavy track that i always hoped he would perform live but never did. All in all 'Into The Fire' really is an overlooked classic that any fan of well crafted rock music should have in their collection. Review ID: 10000000006663738 Was this review helpful?

Report this review Review created: 04/06/06 by: A classic Adams album, from 1987, with timeless tracks including "Native son" written about the extortion of the red indians in North America, (my personal fav),other numbers which released as singles, which included "Victim of Love", the title track "Into the Fire" and i think from memory, "Heat of the Night". Bryan said "....These songs are a little more introspective; I've gone within for inspiration and done a little soul searching..." Review ID: 10000000001080169 Was this review helpful?
