Rating: - Fantastic Record!
I've been listening to this record for the last 3 months and it keeps growing on me. This is one of the best record by Bryan Adams. Listen to it carefully...it's full of jewels!

Bryan Adams, perhaps Canada's greatest export, deliveries this, his eleventh studio album, but is it worthy of his former glories? Well, not really.
Trouble here is that all the songs just plod along, there's nothing here to really grip the listener, you quickly become bored and lose interest.
It's not through Bryan's lack of trying, but like his previous album "Room Service" it's just not attention grabbing material.
There's no real powerful rocker here, or a moody power ballad, it's all the same quiet verse, loud chorus scenerio over and over again.
The only real track that made me want to listen again was "Oxygen," this at least shows flashes of the Bryan Adams of old.
I'm sure for die hard Bryan fans this album will suit just fine, and for that reason I give reason I give this album a reasonable three stars, but for everyone else, there's not much here to justify a purchase.
Track Pick: "Oxygen"

Rating: - Good Album
Not his greatest album, but certainly not as bad as some of the reviews state, make sure you listen to it more than once, many of the songs grow on you.

Having been to see the live show, I've seen it mentioned that he only does a limited number of songs from this album and saying that obviously Bryan doesn't think this is a very good album, imagine if you went to his show and he didn't play any of the classics that we all love to hear!

Walk On BY is the stand out track for me and was performed in the live show, it was absolutely superb.

If your a fan of easy listening rock then I recommend this album.

Being a huge fan of Bryan Adams, was anticipating this album a lot. Listened to it a couple of times, but then totally lost interest and have not listened to it since then. The lyrics, music choice and everything else seems to be just polished up from previous work. I mean, here we have one of the best male singers of the world, who did unforgettable master pieces before, but now there is nothing special coming out any more. I hardly remember the songs now, and to be honest do not even feel like going back to play it again. Was hoping for more of a change, more rhythm, more greatness from Bryan Adams, but was a bit disappointed. It is not a bad album, the songs are good, but I was expecting something a lot better than that, hence only two stars, just because it is Bryan Adams.

How did BA go from 'Reckless' to the maturity of 'Into The Fire', survive 'Waking up the neighbours' and return with a great 'On a day like today' only to produce this one week wonder?

Jim Vallance came back for this?

Dreadful, dreadful, dreadful.
