This may confuse some as this was the title of the first album that Bonfire put out in ‘86, after their name change from Cacumen. Main man Hans Ziller decided to revisit and re-record this album, giving the songs a whole new groove and sound using today’s technology. Hence the addition of MMXXIII to the title. I believe Point Blank and Fireworks are getting the same treatment.

I do like this new version because it’s given the songs that big arena rock sound. Good songs are good songs so Hot To Rock, Don’t Touch The Light, L.A. and S.D.I are still the stand out songs, but they sound much bigger here. Bonfire are a class act and are one of Germany’s best melodic rock bands.

8.5/10 from The Grooveman.
