St. Elmo’s Fire ( Jeff Jones) “Desperate Years” review in Rock n Force (France)
Warning! Masterpiece! I haven’t heard anything of this caliber since the early ’80’s.
From the opener “Chain Around My Heart” and its mid-tempo, to a a wonderful ballad that closes the album “Other Night To Cry”, everything is fabulous! I could go on about each title, they all are thunderous, but I limit myself to the creme de la creme . For my part thet melodic “On Fire” is a pearl! Among the other wonders we could cite for example is the acoustic “Without You” , the cutting edge “Part of My Life” ,the fast “Hot Time”, the FM radio single “Michelle”, and long instrumental “jam Rivethead” ….
For me, it is the best album of the year so far!
