Ice Tiger - Love 'n Crime (1991)

Interesting melodic rock here from Australian posse Ice Tiger who came rather too late with this half-decent, middle of the road plodder of an opus which showcased such obscure delights as the fancy 'Little Runaway' and the sublime 'Turn to Fantasy', all the numbers on offer having a Dio feel only with a fleck of subtlety to separate the two bands. Vocally, Dave Crosby could never match the wizardry of Ronnie James Dio but his soothing voice is certainly ideal for any mid to late '80s commercial rock so it's a shame these guys didn't really make the grade.
7/10
