Holy Water

Bad Company

Polished arena rock with massive choruses and nineties sheen. A high-gloss evolution of the band's bluesy roots featuring Brian Howe's soaring vocal range.

Find on Amazon

The one where they went full arena-mode and actually pulled off the massive choruses.

A high-octane blend of stadium swagger and sentimental melodicism.
