Yawn! Star Song chum out another neatly constructed mass production slice of AOR from the sunny US of A. It's quite fun for a game of "spot the cliche" though, the nauseating "Aaah-Aaah" harmony vocals and lyrics like "Burning fire/Burn away desire.../Take me higher/Lord even higher" (I've never heard that rhyme before!) all combine to make this a rib-tickling icebreaker at parties. Just when you think you've heard it all you get to track five, "Fever" - wait for it - a rap! It's also quite funny listening to lead vocalist Bradley Beckey as he doesn't quite make those high notes. There is one quite good song, "New Kind Of Voodoo", which, combined with Quinton Gibson's very good lead work, almost helped this album to attain a little reviewer enthusiasm, but not quite!
