NO SMOKE WITHOUT FIRE

For many fans of Wishbone Ash, "No Smoke Without Fire" is the band's best album since Argus. For me, it's certainly one of the best from the mark 2 line up with Laurie Wisefield. And the sound is a quite inspired by him in many ways, although you can still hear many traces of the old band's style. It was a nice way to evolve. As a whole, it rocks and is consistently strong throughout. The second half of the album has the best songs, "Anger In Harmony", "Like A Child" and "Way Of The World". The bonus tracks on the CD version "Firesign" and "Time &Space" are really good too. This is recommended to fans of arena and classic rock. Those that like fine guitar playing will appreciate this effort.
