I just love it
I really don't know why it is awesome. I have noticed in looking at the reviews that this CD was not rated high.
Just a little bit differant sound for Bad Company but none the less I feel it is a great CD.
Alot of ballets yep, love it.

Bad Company's AOR era comes to a close
They were just completely slick, catchy, melodic (and yes commercial) AOR albums, and Howe's voice was perfect for that style of music. I know I'm in the minority here, but as much as I enjoy the early Paul Rodgers albums, the late 80's/early 90's albums with Brian Howe on vocals are my favorite Bad Company releases. The AOR/melodic rock sound was getting its second wind (and plenty of airplay) at that time, and Howe helped Bad Company capitalize on that.
1992's Here Comes Trouble was Howe's last album with the band, and as much as I enjoy it, it was clear the band was running out of steam. Despite some memorable songs (How About That, Stranger than Fiction, Take This Town, Little Angel), there is also a fair amount of filler. The songs on Here Comes Trouble were still as melodic and polished as ever, but they weren't any different than what you'd hear on 1988's Dangerous Age or 1990's Holy Water. You get the same sense of repetitiveness and lack of energy on this album as you did with the final Rodgers era releases.
This wasn't helped by the arrival that same year of Nirvana, Pearl Jam, and the rest of the Seattle grunge-merchants, who wiped the airwaves clean of both hair metal and AOR in relatively short order. Bad Company would opt for a return to their early bluesy sound on 1995's Company of Strangers (with Rodgers soundalike Robert Hart), but would not recapture the kind of commercial success that they enjoyed with Brian Howe.
If you're looking for a "classic" Bad Company album, this isn't it. If you're a fan of the late 80's AOR/melodic rock style, you'll definitely want to check out the Howe era Bad Company albums, though you're much better off starting with Dangerous Age and working forward to Here Comes Trouble.

BAD COMPANY "HERE COMES TROUBLE"
It didnt happen. Trust me I was very upset initially, coz I had purchased it online in 1st week of Aug and I was suppose to get delivery by Sept 12. Amazon took up the matter and rebooked the CD-ROM afresh with a delivery commitment of 04th Nov. It was really apreciable coz the delivery did happen on the committed date. So far as CD is concerned it is one of my hot favourites in Heavy Metal. A msut for all Heavy Metal fans
Warm regards,
Venky.
The Last Gasp For A Great Lineup
Each tune seems so organized and planned out that you have to wonder if this CD could be any poppier. Yes, this version of Bad Co was a combination of bubble gum and hard rock. Brian Howe continues to shine on this rather tame follow up to Holy Water. But overall the music is compelling and interesting. A fine mixture of rockers and ballads with no trace of the Paul Rodgers sound. This is the end of the new Bad Co, The commercial top-40 pop rock era was coming to an end. This is a shame because this line-up produced nearly flawless pop-rock-metal. Check out the intro to "How 'Bout That" or the many other tasty riffs like on "Hear Comes Trouble" and the amazing ballad, "This Could Be The Right One". 1992 was the end of rock like this. Mick Jones and Lou Gramm and Brian Howe would be put out to pasture by a horde of grunge rockers with no sense of melody. The anger eventually ruined rock music. Slowly people are realizing that this era of Bad Co along with countless others of the smae time exhibit a much more accessible and enduring rock and roll. This works. And for those Paul purists out there, this is a different band with a different focus. it's too bad Mutt didnt produce them, this would have sold 12 million copies.
No Paul Rodgers But Still Awesome
This album is way better than one might think. Bad Company was awesome in the 70s and even after Paul Rodgers and others left, they still managed to make another great one. It's nothing like the old Bad Company but it is just as good in it's own way. If you like BC give this a chance and you will be pleased.
