10. 100 Miles
“The best one here, in my opinion, is the startling acoustic ballad “100 Miles.” It comes from out of nowhere, and it sounds absolutely like nothing else on the album, but it’s beautiful and the drummer’s vocal performance is absolutely brilliant..”
9. Dead of the Night
“Dead of the Night” is an upbeat, hard-rocking track that stands out due to its pure energy. The album features numerous songs with great lyrics about taking as much control over one’s fate as possible, even if others strongly disagree with what your intentions are.”
8. I Don’t Care
“The shear fact that a band can go through an utter reformation and come up with this good a work is well, rather incredible. Bad Company was Paul Rodgers’ baby. His bluesy vocals and no-nonsense style made for some unforgettable rock history. But along comes Brain Howe and Terry Thomas.”

7. Boys Cry Tough
“Bad Company has broken their tiresome sound with this cd. They have always had some good songs, but never a really good cd. Until this cd came out. Holy Water starts rockin and never really stops. Howe’s vocals are better than orginal vocalist Rogers. “
6. Fearless
“Brian Howe’s voice is the ultimate! This album is very with it! I remember when this album came out. It was the very best in music at the time! It so sad that Mr. Brian Howe never got the recog- nition he deserved!”
5. Stranger Stranger
“Brian Howe makes this record soar with his vocals, enough said. You have to listen to it to be purely amazed by his talent. Mick Ralphs really does well here, going along with Brian’s powerful vocals. This record is a must for rock fans. No garbage here.”

4. Holy Water
“I enjoy working out to the title track “Holy Water.” I added it to my Ipod so I can walk with it or take it to the gym. It adds fire and energy to my workout! I also like the song because the words are positive and about love.”
3. Walk Through Fire
“Thomas knows how to fire up this combination. He also sings backing vocals and seems to know which buttons to push at any moment. Every song is a potential hit single.”
2. If You Needed Somebody
“There are plenty of other CDs out there for those seeking complex guitar solos and multiplex harmonies. Sometimes you just want a belting-it-out song that screams of leather jackets and smokey bars. This is the one!”
1. Lay Your Love on Me
“Howe’s vocals are better than orginal vocalist Rogers. Too bad Bad Company couldn’t keep this up. Very upbeat, for a laid back group. Not a bad song on this cd.”
