It took them 2 years to release the follow-up of the highly acclaimed debut Consider This..., but now the British quintet is back! For me the new album took a few more spins to discover. On Sweet Lick Of Fire the band present their Kick rock, but the harder tracks like Kaleidoscopic Eyes are harder than equal songs on the debut. The lighter songs are a little lighter, poppier than on their first release. Songs like Painless could be heard on radio. Call this hard rocking pop or poppy rock, whatever, this is music you can listen to in every mood. To pick songs which represent the album ain't easy. The title track is definitely one of the strongest rockers and Painless represent their smoother side. With singer Nick Workman they have a charismatic singer who is as good as Joe Elliot (Def Leppard), Bon Jovi and Billy Idol to quote names dropped by different journalists. But Nick Wortman has his own identity and isn't copy any of these. Some might missed a larger variety on their debut, here it is! The band of the Jones brothers made a step forward without losing their own identity. Not necessary to talk about their abilities, everybody in this band is very talented and so there is nothing to complain. Their next album will show if they can become the next big name in rock...
