Tyler, Bonnie
Secret Dreams And Forbidden Fire
1986 Original Includes Custom Inner Sleeve With Printed Lyrics. "Not Totally Unique, Secret Dreams & Forbidden Fire Nevertheless Depicts A Cool Portrait Of '80s Pomposity. Producer/Director Jim Steinman Always Kicks His Records Off In Style, And The Breathtaking, Go-For-Baroque "Ravishing" Is No Exception. Building To "Livin' La Vida Loca," Desmond Child's Songwriting Ascent Continues With "If You Were A Woman," Which Morphed Into "You Give Love A Bad Name" For A Certain Bon Jovi Big Shot. No Having A Cranium-blasting "Faster Than The Speed Of Night" Or Chart-busting "Total Eclipse Of The Heart" Immediately Makes Secret Dreams & Forbidden Fire Substandard To The 1983 Steinman/Tyler Collaboration. This Power-Keg Feels A Bit Sleeker And More Streamlined: A Fighter Plane Instead Of A Luxury Jumbo. The Ubiquitous Footloose Soundtrack Showcased Colossal Closer "Holding Out For A Hero," So Even That Ditty Doesn't Prop This Platter. Todd Rundgren (Another Member Of This Bizarre Clique) Joins His Distinctively Plain Voice To Tyler's For A Deranged Duet On "Loving You's A Dirty Job But Somebody's Gotta Do It" (Not The Ratt Killer). "No Way To Treat A Lady" Follows "Straight From The Heart" As An Attempted Bryan Adams Interpretation. Too Much Ado Piled On Top Of The Glittering "Band Of Gold" Almost Breaks The Back Of A Very Sturdy Song. Naturally The Unsubtle Steinman Production Boasts An Excess Of Everything, But Somehow This Secret Dream Needs A Bit More Fire. Not A Bad Pickup From The Delete Bins Though." AMG - Doug Stone.
