MY THOUGHTS
Bonfire’s second album, most fittingly titled ”Fireworks”, made a huge impact on me and my friends back in the days. The effective and direct melodic hard rock was impossible to resist. Nowadays, when I put on the album and listen from start to finish, I can’t neglect the fact that the album is a bit uneven and sounds a bit dated, but the nostalgia effect wins me over in the end. The highlights are genre-classics and the cheesy lyrics just something that comes along with the genre and doesn’t bother me that much.
