This album started with the title track "Stir Up The Fire", it's a song filled with attitude and a great start of a great album. For some reason this band made me start thinking of Turbonegro, Type O Negative and Nine Inch Nails.

The transition between track 5 "Pain and pleasure" and track 6 "Endless journey" was really phenomenal, you couldn't really say where track 5 ended and track 6 began and I must say that I liked it. But the best track on this album according to me is located at the end, the song "Get it together", it really showed another side to the band. It feels like they put away some of their attitude and put a little more feeling into it, and it works, that's the amazing thing about it. This album is fantastic even if it feels a little bit monotonous once in a while.

Rating 8/10
