Burnin’ Sky came as another disappointment to fans of blues-rock band Bad Company. With the exception of the title track most of the songs on this album are forgettable. (US:15 UK:17)
“Basically, the music public’s taste had started to change. Bad Company put out another stripped down blues based rock album in the same vein as in the past. This time the material was not as good except for the spectacular title track.”
“The rest of the album sadly doesn't live up to the level of the opening title track. Nor does anything else on the album rock as hard, and that's sad because the title track doesn't even really rock all that hard. That being said, the vocals are so good they rival the earliest days in Free.”
“It is clear almost from the outset that three albums in as many years had taken its toll on the bands main composers Paul Rodgers and Mick Ralphs as the material here is once again mostly not up to the high standards of the first two albums. That’s not to say it doesn't have its moments though.”
“This ambitious recording is highlighted by the stunning title cut, which sets the mood for the album. Bad Company excelled at producing blues-based rock that showcased the passionate vocal talents of Paul Rodgers.”
“A chink was beginning to appear in the armour of Bad Company with this release. Perhaps it was the constant touring or the pressure of having to follow-up the success of the previous releases. Whatever the reason Burnin’ Sky just doesn't have the power or the hits of its predecessors.”
“I've always enjoyed this album. It was the beginning of the band's descent into pop, but it still is a great rock album. Burnin' Sky is a classic Bad Company tune, and side two doesn't have a bad song on it. Closing the album is Master Of Ceremony, the first blues song on a Bad Company album and an awesome tune.”
“Burnin' Sky continues on the slight experimental path Bad Company started to take with Run With The Pack, but where that album had a few classics mixed with some throwaways, this album feels like the band just woke up from a nap and recorded an album of jams.”
