Add your review here. Dated though many good moments Review written by John Fitzgerald, February 24th, 2005 Though Rick's work on this album is more subtle and subdued, he is on seven tracks here which are the opening "Hit me on the loveside" (an effective stomp which has good RV six string screams), the chripy reggae tinged pop of "Do you believe in love", "Wishing star" (which is a likable breathy smooth mid tempo track that brings out the best in Coolidge's style), the barking harmonica puffing rocker "I'm comin' home" (which has good energy on the chorus chants), the quick throbber "Love from Tokyo" (which has dramatics that don't work), the pitter patter of "Survivor" (which is likable in the same way that "Wishing star" was in it's well executed emotion) and "Love is muddy water" (which is an anthemic swaying stroll that you won't think is a highlight but you won't stop singing it after you hear it!). As for the three tracks Rick isn't on, "I can't afford that feeling anymore" is a typical Rita ballad in the "We're all alone" vein (but of course not nearly as successful as that Boz Scaggs penned song), "Games" is an upish funk pep shaker that works well with it's keys flourishes and "Something said love" is a "What a fool believes" like plucker. I want to give this album four stars but I'm afraid it's dated banalness drags it down but "Inside the fire" does get a strong three star rating here.
