Can't go Wrong With German Melodic Metal.......2005-07-22

Recommended for fans of the Scorpions, in particular, and 80s style melodic metal in general. This disc is a fair value too, since it actually contains 2 albums (Don't Touch the Light 1986 and Fireworks 1988). The second release, and second half of this disc, is the better of the two. The first album, Don't Touch the Light, while not containing any bad tracks, is not quite strong enough to stand on its own, having only two standout tracks and being on the brief side -- only 7 tracks total.

Highlights of the disc in order of appearance are: No more, SDI, Champion, You Make Me Feel, Fantasy and Give it a Try.

Fans of the band should be pleased with this release. The two albums display a nice variety of rockers and ballads. Claus Lessman has an attractive voice and good sense of style. He often sounds quite similar to Klaus Meine, especially on the ballads.

Also of note -- the overall sound is crisp, unlike that heard on so many other 80s metal discs, where it seems as if the band are playing from the depths of a giant tin can.

Bonfire is awesome!.......2002-10-02

I got Fireworks on Vinyl while stationed in Germany in the Army back in '87. I just picked up the CD yesterday and it sounds as good as ever. Nevermind is my personal favorites on this disc and I've listened to it so many times! These guys have a nice edge but remain melodic - a fine balance. There are many other excellent songs on here including Ready 4 Reaction. This disc is one of my all time favorites & these guys are one of the best European metal bands to never quite make it in the US.

Deutsche 80s Metal / Power Metal at its best!.......2002-06-05

Fireworks is undoubtedly one of the landmarks in the annals of 80s metal and power metal. Imagine Scorpions-style vocals with huge melodic choruses, keyboards, and heavy Teutonic guitar. Very inspirational, fist-pumping 80s metal at its best.

Awesome German Metal!!.......2001-06-08

This band ranks right up there with the Scorpions and Accept as some of the best metal to ever come out of Germany! Great vocalist and kick butt guitarist make this band one of the greatest secrets to come out of the 80's. Long live 80's rock!!
