Negative Positive
Title: Benatar Time
Review: Pat Benatar released a string a solid & successful hard-rocking albums in the early 80's with Precious Time being the best of the bunch. "Promises In The Dark" is a frenzied rocker that starts the album on a good foot. "Fire & Ice" follows it and is a great showcase for her powerful voice. The song's title fits the pace of the song as it coolly slithers along before Ms. Benatar heats things up in the chorus. The title track is a solid rocker, but she missteps on the cover of The Beatles' "Helter Skelter" as she misses the down & dirty feel of the original. She does better on a cover of an old Paul Revere & The Raiders' "Just Like Me" singing with an appropriate amount of sass. Precious Time was her only number one album and it established as the queen of rock for her era.
