Bryan Adams - Into the Fire

Hard to follow "Reckless" but very good effort

It was a big target to reach, to be the following album after Reckless.
Not so many hits on this one (three if I am right) but the album is a good one. One of my all time favorite is "Native Son", it has a very nice ambiance, it is not a "hit" but for sure, one of the best song by Bryan. A good addition to your collection for sure. December 26, 2007

Sleeper Album...Love It

If you have ever been in a relationship that just went the wrong way in so many directions...this album is the soundtrack to it. Totally the sleeper in Adams collection of albums,it just sneaks up on you and kicks you in the stomach.

The video for Victim of Love is easily in my Top 10 fave's of all time. June 5, 2005

Another great album from Bryan!

Into the Fire was a very strong album on its own! Although it had to compete with U2's album in the spring of 1987, it had a good string of hits. That In the Heat of the Night is still a rocker to this day. But one of the album's big surprises is Another Day and its fast moving paces and bridges that is done so remarkably in 3 minutes and 40 seconds! Victim of Love is still a solid ballad. One of the more dramatic performances on here is Remembrance Day. History dramatically sung by Bryan in some 6 minutes. For Bryan to follow a very mega successful album in Reckless from '84 is a hard feat. But Into The Fire did well on its own strength. It helped make Bryan a more acceptable artist and songwriter.

By FAR, His Best Work!

The long-awaited 1987 follow-up to the multi-platinum 1984 "Reckless." Oddly, it fell on it's ass from a hit/sales standpoint. And so the paradox is that one of his best is one of his least known. Only "Heat of the Night" turns up on compilations. The sublime, self-pity fest "Victim of Love" was also a hit of sorts. The entire album is great, however. Real standouts for me are "Home At Last" and "Remembrance Day." Though he's improved in recent years, the 90's were not the best time for BAdams. The albums during that period had a few good tracks, and many oddly juvenile, garage band-type concoctions. INTO THE FIRE is truly a masterpiece and certainly his best album of the 80's, perhaps ever. Do yourself a favor and pick this up. If Def Leppard hadn't dominated the airwaves in 1987 this could've been THE album that year. June 23, 2004
