Editorial reviews

Description
When he released INTO THE FIRE, Bryan Adams was an established and extremely successful rock & roller. Styles had changed over the decade, but Adams's brand of melodic hard rock was still very much in vogue, and even flourishing, as bands from Guns & Roses and Aerosmith to the so-called hair-metal bands made the power ballad a genre unto itself.
Teaming up with long-time producer Bob Clearmountain and songwritingpartner Jim Vallance, Adams sticks with this approach. Clearmountain brings his trademark ultra-clear, '80s-style production to the proceedings, especially evident on the gleamingtitle track. And the songs continue to mine the basic rock idiom. Yet Adams shows a desire to evolve. He looks at the lives of the working class a la Bruce Springsteen on "AnotherDay" and "Rebel", while "Remembrance Day" is a homage to World War Two soldiers. He even addresses Native American issues in "Native Son". Although the record doesn't feature whatcould be called a signature Bryan Adams song, the collection offers what any Bryan Adams record has: big drums, big guitars, lots of strong and memorable hooks, and that voice.

Even better than Reckless!
Reckless is a brilliant LP but in my opinion Bryan bettered it with this offering. The songs are darker and it's more of a masculine record than Reckless - that's not meant in a girl/boy way, men have their feminine sides too! The songs are soooo strong, I can't think what a previous reviewer was talking about saying they are weak. Maybe he doesn't know what a good song is. Real melodic, emotive stuff with stunning guitar from Keith Scott again. 5+/5

Bryan Adams - Into The Fire (5 Star Review)
Contrary to some reviews this is an amazing album, a definate outsider but some fantastic songs from the beautiful "Native Son", the unforgetttable "Hearts on Fire" and of course the title track "Into the Fire".
Fantastic.

Bryan Adams .. really Into The Fire
This is perhaps the best album of Bryan Adams that provokes lots of thoughts in critical issues. The Music well suits the songs and my fav is NATIVE SON. no doubt the song is addressed to the Whites who invaded America and threw away the Native Sons !
i hope eveyone enjoys and understands this album.
If you are a BA fan and if you don't have this album then U r missing a lot.

Bryan At His Best
This is truely the most under-rated Bryan Adams album of all-time. Even though Bryan didn't have his biggest hits from Into The Fire, the first track "Heat Of The Night" is the most known, with Bryan playing the lead guitar, which is also rare to find. The other tracks on the album are just outstanding, and have a class none of his other albums have. The touchy "Into The Fire" is definitely one of my favorite songs but good-oldstyle rockers like "Only The Strong Survive", "Another Day" and "Rebel" are songs not to be missed. The most outstanding tracks are "Into The Fire", "Native Son", "Remembrance Day" and "Hearts On Fire". My conclusion is that Bryan has completed this album with a lot of style, and what the critics say about that lyrics were never his best thing: Think again, because Bryan's lyrics are the most touching you can imagine, and very well written too. The fans love him for his music and the strong lyrics, which on every album are very well written. A 5 star is even underrated for this album, it deserves a 10 star as far as I'm concerned :)
