There was no doubt that this trio would return with another solid record. Portnoy, Sheehan and Kotzen deliver very strong performances in Hot Streak as it was expected. The band broadens its music horizons and takes its chances with a variety of styles in a mission to grow both musically and in status. Where the self-titled debut was a pure classic rock one, Hot Streak adds modern elements to the mixture. The diversity in the songs indicates just that: from the powerfull opening of "Oblivion" and the 80s-style slow burning headbanger of "Captain Love" to the acoustic harmony of "Fire" and from there to the humble ballad "Think It Over". In between, there is lots of rhythm, riffing and technical ability, all of them indicating the chemistry between these guys. Recommendations: "Captain Love", "The Bridge", "Spiral", "Ghost Town", "Oblivion", "Think It Over"
