| Bad English - Backlash Band: Bad English Tracks: - So This Is Eden - Straight To Your Heart - Time Stood Still - The Time Alone With You - Dancing Off The Edge Of The World - Rebel Say A Prayer - Savage Blue - Pray For Rain - Make Love Last - Life At The Top A Superior Second Effort Two short years after releasing their debut, which reached platinum status and charted Five singles (most notably the top 5 hits "When I See You Smile" and "Price Of Love") Bad English folded when this album managed only a #42 placing for it's single "Straight To Your Heart" and stopped on the album chart at a dismal #72. Why remains a mystery. Everything that was good about the first album has been improved on greatly for this release: the songs are tighter (and there's less of them, so it doesn't overstay it's welcome like the first one tends to), the playing sounds more like they mean it, and best of all, the rockers not only rock, they're actually great to listen to. "So This Is Eden" is a great opener, but almost all of the tracks qualify as highlights. My personal favourites are "Time Stood Still", "Pray For Rain" and "Life At The Top", but there isn't a poor cut here. Recommended to all John Waite/Babys fans, and those who like their Journey with a harder edge. LIFE AT THE TOP This was the second and final release by Bad English. In a way it is better than their first release, since more of the songs are better, at least lyrically, in my opinion. Living in Houston, when this came out, I can't even remember hearing any of the songs played on the radio. That is amazing, since the content is very good. In a sense, this is music made for airplay, which is why it is odd that it did so poorly. There isn't a weak song on this release, but they tend to lack the lustre that would have made this a great selling album. Very good songs include "Straight to Your Heart", "Time Stood Still", "Rebel Say A Prayer", and "Life At the Top". The best songs are "Make Love Last", Dancing Off the Edge of the World", and "Time Alone With You". My Favorite of the tracks is "So This Is Eden". Great vocals, guitar work, and songs are what make BACKLASH a disc worth having and the price should say affordable... The Best In High Energy Glam Rock! Ever since i was introduced to the song "Time Alone With You" that was a radio hit back in 1991, never had i really expected that years later it would continue to be a constant listen in my Player for its rocky and catchy package. Those putting their last work down should know first what they're talking about, because every song has its story to tell. From the ballad smoothness of Time Alone With You, Make Love Last and Time Stood Still to the edgy Straight To Your Heart and to the adventurous Rebel Say A Prayer and the passionate Savage Blue, this album is tops, without a doubt. If you like high-energy rock that has a lasting, melodic edge to it, then Backlash is definitely it.
