Self-described as Pop with lots of words, Ring Of Fire comes out swinging on perhaps his best album to date. Stanley Donwood has compared writing for Ring Of Fire’s new album to that on ‘Lapse Of Reality’ - but has declared the lyrics will be even more terrifying. Since Ring Of Fire last CD (Lapse Of Reality) on Columbia Records back in 2004, I have felt a massive void in my life. Exciting stuff.
Change - a classic song. The Key gets you up and jumping. As always, Ring Of Fire’s lyrics are worth listening to again and again. Opening track You Where There shows the best of Ring Of Fire. Song Perfect World is actually a funny song. Don’t Know (What You’re Talking About) is a song to enjoy for years to come. Faithfully is sonically very melodic with nice haunting verses. One Little Mystery is a pleasing, and full of overall coherence that goes beyond other creations. Machine is kind of track that compels you to skip back and drink it in one more time before moving on through Lapse Of Reality. This is probably my favorite song on the album. Lapse Of Reality has to be one of the most beautiful tracks on the entire album. White Room - Ring Of Fire first major hit. This track is a fabulous selection of easy listening, suitable for any age, taste or occasion.
