Хиты, как обычно, в компетенции Пола Стэнли. Тут заметны энергичный открывающий боевик "Rise To It", романтическая композиция "Hide Your Heart" с дивным "мелодраматическим" текстом, мелодичный эпик "King Of Hearts", и просто убойная мега-баллада всех времен и народов "Forever". Джин Симмонс хоть особых шедевров и не представил, но наконец-то снова начал писать классные песни. Среди них выделяются ураганный боевик "Betrayed", развеселая и юморная история в "Cadillac Dreams", и совершенно безумный угар, в чуть ли не трэшевом каком то (это не шутка!), номере "Boomerang".

В общем: я очень доволен сольным творчеством Хьюза последних 5-6 лет. Он выпускает один альбом за другим и делает это очень качественно и музыкально. Лишних песен - тут нет. Энергия никуда не уходит, а его умение петь и владеть басом, кажется с годами становится только лучше. Я не знаю, как долго он будет работать вместе с Чадом и прочими, но надеюсь, что даже в случае расставания, его энергия и талант сходиться с нужными талантливыми и молодыми музыкантами - никуда не денется.

Третий студийник Elf записывался в крайне неподходящей для сосредоточенного написания песен обстановке. Дело в том, что к середине 75 года, Ричи Блэкмор уже покинул родной дом в лице Deep Purple. Недолго думая, он предложил Ронни убрать из группы гитариста и таким образом создать новый коллектив под названием Rainbow. Собственно, так и произошло. Но сначала Elf должны были выпустить еще один диск. Можно себе представить какая "вдохновленная" работа шла в студии при таких обстоятельствах. Тем не менее, надо отдать должное музыкантам - "Trying To Burn The Sun" довольно неплох, хотя и значительно уступает двум предыдущим дискам. Музыка не претерпела никаких изменений, несмотря на то, что в этот раз для записи нескольких треков был приглашен оркестр. Особо приятно слушаются три вещи

City Of Lights is an exciting new melodic hard rock collaboration between British newcomer songwriter/guitarist Neil Austin and Greek vocal sensation Manos Fatsis (Odyssey Desperado/Hideaway). They deliver hard-edged melodic anthems driven by crunching riffs and lush keyboard textures combined with soaring, passion-filled vocal melodies.
The project was born when Austin - armed with a collection of songs inspired by the classic hard rock sounds of the 80s and the new wave of current AOR bands - began the search for a vocalist who possessed the tone, range and emotion to take the songs to the next level. After hearing Fatsis' work on Odyssey Desperado's "Don't Miss The Sunset" and Hideaway's self-titled debut, he knew he had found the right man. The two connected via Facebook and together they began working on honing the songs to perfection. When the time came to find a rhythm section, Austin reached out to members of his favourite band, brothers Robin (bass) and Mats (drums) Eriksson from modern melodic rock monsters degreed and after hearing the demos, both agreed to contribute to the album.
