| this album is the perfect continuation of Fireworks, it is produced by Michael Wagener again and it rocks!, it is funny because after the first listening it doesn't seem that good but pay atention and you won't be disappointed. Great choruses, great riffs, great songs, what else do you need?

| This album came out the same year as the movie 'Shocker.' The sound track for that movie had a band called Bonfire with a song called 'Sword & stone.' I thought that maybe that song would be on this album, but I guess not. Does anyone know that song and is it this band? The song was written by Desmond Child, Paul Stanley & Bruce Kulick. Dangerous Toys also had a song on the sound track called 'Demon Bell.' Good Stuff!..............

| Yes 'sword and stone' is one of the best bonfire's song!It's possible to find it only in the Shocker soundtrack. But this album is great anyway..but just different from 'Fireworks'..more american sounding..

| Actually that's not really true. You can also find Bonfire's cover of 'Sword and Stone' on their 2-disc set 'The Very Best Of Bonfire' cd for twenty-four bucks on Tower. Haven't heard the song yet, though.

| j., I just recieved a used copy of the 'Shocker' soundtrack, and skipped directly to the fourth track. Yeah, 'Sword And Stone' is very good. Desmond Child's production is superior to that heard on any Bonfire record (I'm pretty sure on that). Big chorus, thundering drums, great sound, kick-ass lead guitars and solo--good stuff. It would be totally awesome if Bonfire ever did an American tour, but it's unlikely. It's a possibility, though (I guess).

| Mistake calling this album aor...Sure it has ballads, but the majority of the trax are hard-hitting, melodic, german-sounding hardrock at its best! Angel used to play in Pretty Maids but sounds much better here...Real state-of-the-art techniques at that time...Guess the album was way to overseen......A classic european hardrock album! A must-have!

(Angel gerhard schleifer fans must check this band: CHARADE) ex-sinner guitarist angel schleifer is very good guitarist. in my opinion this album is bombastic. excellent michael wagener production again! vocals is very good, tight rythm section n tasty, colorful melodic rock songs euro-american style  bonfire is a tuff band. definately best album from this talented band

| With Fire Works, this is mostly played on my stereo. Really many catchy tunes and good choruses including also good ballads. Every band who sings about Never Surrending can't be bad!! A must hard rock album to your player.

| On Point Blank, Bonfire pull off the 80s metal hat trick. Continued top-notch production from class act Michael Wagener showcases the melodic prowess of this timeless 80s metal band. This album is not quite on the scale of the first two but it is def. recommended. There are no filler tracks & each song rocks out like you expect them to. A lot of people compare Bonfire to Fair Warning. To me, there is no comparison...Bonfire blows Fair Warning out of the freakin' water! Rating 9/10

| Some outside writers on this one resulting in a slightly different style from 'Fireworks', and if I was being ultra picky I'd lose those short intro tracks as they annoy me, but this is still awesome. I just love 'Say Goodbye' with big hooks in the verses and a killer chorus. The vocals and production were probably better than on the first 2 albums, but from personal taste I'd just about give them the edge over this.

| Simply stated, this is one of my all time top 5 albums. Nothing but sheer brilliance involved here. I remember listening to 'Bang Down the Door' for the first time and feeling sad that I'd not been able to say goodbye to friends and family, as clearly I was in Heaven! I soon realised that I was still alive, in a state of pure bliss as the excellence of 'Waste No Time' passed through my ears, the delightfully entertaining 'Hard on Me' caused smiles, 'Why Is it Never Enough' is a ballad of excelle

| ...excellent proportions, and then just when I thought it couldn't get better - 'Tony's Roulette' destroyed those dreams with it's sheer melodic hard rock perfection, 'You're Back' is harmless fun, 'Look of Love' still chills me today and is a clear highlight, 'The Price of Loving You', 'Freedom is My Belief', 'Never surrender' and 'Youth patrol' are all KILLER hard rockers, 'Gimme Some' is the only filler, but has it's moments, 'Say Goodbye' is as good as it ever gets and an all-time fave, best

| ...best of the album for me, 'Know Right Now' comes very close to that and 'Who's Foolin' Who' is a beautiful closer. Sorry for the long comment, but for me this album comes as close to 10/10 as it gets. Sheer brilliance!

| One of the best most consistant releases to come from a German band. Great songwriting with stadium chorus. Claus has never sounded as he does here. Losing Angel (guitar) and Jorg (bass) was the biggest mistake Bonfire made. This album should've made them HUGE around the world. 'Hard On Me' would have to have one of the most awesome video clips of the late 80's. Still in my top 10 albums EVER!!!

| I'd cut off my balls with a dull, rusty knife before I'd give up this CD. This melodic hard rock monster fires on all 10 cylinders, pushing it forward with pure perfection. This is a flawless, stunning collection of songs loaded with driving guitars, big hooks, explosive choruses, and brilliant backing vocals, all given the professional sonic treatment from Michael Wagener's stellar production. Any melodic hard rock fan would have to be a bleepin' idiot not to own this gift from God.

| Point Blank is simply perfect!! Vocals, guitars, bass, drums, production, monster choruses song after song, very melodic yet powerful and good energy - one of the VERY BEST releases ever in melodic rock!!! 15 killer songs, that's just amazing!! Bang down the door, Waste no time, Hard on me -what an excellent trio to start off with! Also great ballads - Why is it never enough, Look of love and fantastic acoustic song Who's foolin' who. This is one of my top 10 CDs ever!! 99/100.

| Definitely a great album and great follow up to Fireworks!! Good production and you get plenty of songs on this CD that are awesome - rocks hard! Also get some good ballads. You cannot go wrong with Bonfire's first 3 albums (this one being their 3rd).

| Bonfire manage to serve up another top notch record even with the departure of a founding member. This is just what you'd expect from the melodic rock masters and a killer follow-up to 'Fireworks'. While not quite as good as the utterly brilliant 'Fireworks' it is very close, but I did find a few songs this time I could have done without. Dispite that, songs like 'Why Is It Never Enough', 'Tony's Roulette', and 'Look Of Love' are some of the best I've ever heard. A must for Bonfire fans!!!

| Too many tracks, but lots of very good songs. Easily enough songs to make a classic album, should perhaps have left 3 or 4 tracks out though (e.g. 'Youth Patrol', 'Who's Foolin' Who'). Having said that, it's still a fantastic album, with 'Tony's Roulette', 'You're Back', 'The Price of Loving You' and 'Know Right Now' being my favourites. I didn't like Fireworks as much, but maybe need to go back and give it another go. Nice!

| Even though I own this album, I don't feel qualified to comment on it other than to say that I've listened to it once and my impression was that there are too many song on it and that they have lost all the melody that made 'Fireworks' such a fantastic album. There's no doubt that the power is still there, it's just the immediate hooks that have gone. Maybe I need to give it another listen.

| Probably not the ideal follower to their best album done "Fireworks" but still quite effective IMO...for me the best tracks are the ones with an AORish feel such as "Say Goodbye","Know Right Now" & "Look Of Love" but the cover of Desmond Child's song "Price Of Loving You" plus tracks 1,,2,3,5 & 11 are also pretty good ones too...recommended...90/100

| one more time the yesterrock reissue with 7 bonus tracks live is a deception.yes my cd player write "live bootlegg" but it s a shame to put on the market a record with some bonus tracks live wich have a so weak and so rotten sound (except track 18 the beautiful ballad "you make me feel" wich have a decent sound.

| When a good song co-written with Desmond Child is the bonus track, then you KNOW the songs are freaking good. Beautiful long play disc. Bass player wrote a good book where he said the US tours were booked for very wrong places, and very small audiences, and label support was weak. Shame, this was among the best albums of all in 1989, totally classic. Two amazing lead guitar players too.
