1 stars Jerney is fully installed in her "Barbie" role now. The front cover reminds me the one of the Donna Summer albums (but at least she was good in her genre).

Actually, if you except the title track, there is absolutely nothing worth mentioning in here. But don't expect too much from it either. Twelve long minutes, with here and there some nice short breaks. But this remains a disco-ish song.

I' m afraid that I have no trivia for you in this review (like for their previous album). To write exclusively about the "music" featured here is a real difficult exercise. This is definitely not the music I like, even if some disco sounds are bearable to me : Chic, Ross, Summer (of course). But I'm talking about a very few.

This album wll combine disco aswall as reggae ("Tell Me Why"). Reggae had invaded Europe in '76 or so and surfed the wave till the early eighties. No wonder that a band such as the reconverted "Earth & Fire" was keen on playing reggae-ish music. But it is totally out of purpose. Not the talent to do so any longer. I mean writng good reggae disco or reggae material.

I am really sorry to rate for the third time an "Earth & Fire" album with one star, but I can't honestly not think of a better rating. This album has nothing to do with prog of course; but overall, the song writing is incredibly poor and boring. Almost from start to finish (well, maybe that the closing number is a bit better, especially the instrumental intro part).
