Classic Bryan Adams sound
I was sceptical about this album after reading the reviews on here, but, after listening to it through a few times, I have to say, it’s great. It’s got that real classic Adams sound, and the songs will sound great live. I’m a big fan of Bryan’s music, and like any artist, some albums are better than others, but this is one that I’ll still be playing in years to come. The title track, “Part Friday Night, Part sunday Morning” and “Driving Under the Influence of Love” are instant favourites, but there isn’t a track on the album that I didn’t enjoy.

Surprisingly good offering!!
I admit when I first heard the title track and it's disappointingly repetitive chorus, which although I like Ed Sheeran too, I wasn't too bothered about this album, but I'm glad I did. I particularly like Part Friday Night, Part Sunday Morning, Driving Under The Influence Of Love, All Or Nothing and the ballad, Talk To Me, plus if you've been to any of his concerts you'll know he comes back on stage alone with just his guitar and mouth organ, you can imagine his version of Whiskey In The Jar was written for this. Nice one Bryan!

Better than expected
Have been a fan since back in the 80s when Bryan first emerged with Cuts like a knife and the peerless Reckless but have not really liked his more recent material as it seemed to lack inspiration and looking back have not thought he has released a decent album for 20 years. Only bought this for completeness because I am a bit of a music nerd but glad I did. Much better effort and to use the cliché a return to form. Reviews here are definitely mixed but I enjoyed it and would recommend anyone gives it a spin.

It's different but still good
Whilst this is very different to most of the older classic Bryan Adams albums and songs, it is more in tune with his recent music and is still worth listening to. If you have seen Bryan in concert recently you will have seen how he seamlessly brings together his old, new and cover songs. Shine a light is a great song, his collaboration with Jenifer Lopez is surprisingly good and his cover of whisky in the jar is fantastic. Buy it!

A Fantastic CD By Bryan Adams I Absolutely Love It
I went to see Bryan Adams in concert in Liverpool recently and he was absolutely amazing. I only went because my wife wanted to go due to it being her birthday. Music is not really my thing. After watching Bryan Adams in concert I am now a big fan of his music which is why I bought the CD "Shine A Light". The CD is fantastic!. I would give it a 10/10.
