Too Hot To Sleep

In the grand tradition of 80s rock bands with big hair, big choruses, and big egos, Survivor returns with their fourth studio album, "Too Hot to Sleep." And let me tell you, this album is like a mullet - business in the front, party in the back. From the opening track, "She's a Star," it's clear that Survivor hasn't lost their knack for crafting catchy, anthemic rock tunes. The guitars are as shreddy as ever, the drums are as bombastic as a hair metal power ballad, and the lyrics are as cheesy as a plate of nachos at a 80s-themed diner. But it's not all smoke machines and spandex on "Too Hot to Sleep." Tracks like "Desperate Dreams" and "Across the Miles" show a softer, more introspective side to the band, proving that even rock gods have feelings too. And then there's the classic power ballad, "Burning Bridges," with its soaring vocals and heart-wrenching lyrics that would make even the toughest rocker shed a tear. Sure, Survivor may not be reinventing the wheel with "Too Hot to Sleep," but sometimes you just want to crank up the volume, throw up the horns, and rock out like it's 1988. And with this album, Survivor delivers the goods in spades. So grab your air guitar, put on your leather jacket, and let "Too Hot to Sleep" transport you back to a time when rock ruled the airwaves.
