After the superb two albums, RECKLESS LOVE managed to deliver another high quality creation that even slightly surpassed 'Animal Attraction'. If the band's playing with more syrupy flavor of the extremely-catchy melodic rock debut and started experimenting with a more serious approach of the sophomore, 'Spirit' is kinda fall in the middle of it. The maturity level is gradually improving yet they still retain the essence of 'having fun'. We can still find some ethereal ballads, joking lyrics, but blasted with a tight musicianship.

There are seriously a great of variety of tempos here, from the mid-paced anthemic tracks such as 'Night On Fire' or 'I Love Heavy Metal', to the heavy riffs of 'Metal Ass', from the mellow ballad of 'Hot Rain' to the cheerful energetic track of 'So Happy I Could Die'. Best track for me here is probably 'Sex, Drugs, & Reckless Love', and the next big one is 'So Happy I Could Die'. But some other tracks that's worthy to be rated around 9 or more are 'Bad Lovin', 'Edge of Our Dreams', and 'Hot Rain'.

Production could be bigger but I think it's worthy of an 8 and replay value is definitely high as I'm sure I'll be spinning this regularly for the rest of the year. Honestly, nothing's shocking to found out that this is still a consistently great disc from the band as I always have a great confidence they will continue the awesome run and what I've got here is on par with my expectation, and I hope you as glam or melodic rock fans will feel the same way too. Incredible stuff!
