iTunes Review

After the blockbuster hit Crimes of Passion, Benatar and guitarist/future husband Neil Giraldo set about putting together Benatar's heaviest album to date. While it lacked the commercial firepower of the previous set, it still featured strong songs and a few hits: "Fire and Ice" and the expansive "Promises in the Dark," one of Benatar's most dramatic and effective tracks. Her voice is a powerful instrument, and with it she does justice to The Beatles' "Helter Skelter" and Paul Revere & The Raiders' "Just Like Me." The title track, written by Billy Steinberg, captured Benatar's sensual side, while Benatar and Giraldo delivered the perfect hard rocker in "Evil Genius," where she comes close to heavy metal. "Take It Anyway You Want It" and "Hard to Believe" work up a pop lather. Benatar would seriously revamp her music after this point. However, taken as the final album of her opening trilogy, Precious Time is the perfect consolidation of everything she learned as a rock 'n' roll singer. 

Customer Reviews

"I've seen ya burn um before"

Excellent Album, Fire & Ice, Promises in the Dark, Just Like Me, Precious Time, Listen and you too will fall in love with her music.

A so-so album

This album has its moments, particularly Promises In The Dark and Fire and Ice. The rest of the album is ok, but not great. Crimes Of Passion and In The Heat Of The Night are both much better albums, especially Crimes Of Passion.
