Ice on Fire
Ice on Fire, released in November 1985, is the nineteenth studio album by Elton John. Recorded at Sol Studios, it was his first album since Blue Moves produced by his original long-time producer, Gus Dudgeon. David Paton and Charlie Morgan appear for the first time on bass and drums respectively, replacing original band members Dee Murray and Nigel Olsson. Fred Mandel, who had played with John during the Breaking Hearts tour, also contributed guitar and keyboards. -Wikipedia
Critic Reviews
Show All-
Rolling Stone
Though the riffs abound, they’re warmed over from other hits — most of them not his own — without any foundation of personal style.
-
Subjective Sounds
Sales and initial impressions may have been lacklustre, but Ice On Fire is, overall, an exceptional Elton John album, albeit with a few B-sides.
-
All Music
The rest of the album shares the same sparkling, canned production, and a few songs could have held their own on the Top 40, but much of it is just average Elton.

Clem's Music Reviews
Something terribly wrong happened here.

Rock NYC
A dog but George Michael sounds terrific on “Wrap Her Up”.
