Pat Benatar - Shadows of this night

Review by Christopher Ford

Shadows of this Night, the album released by Pat Benatar in 1982, is a masterpiece of rock music that has stood the test of time. The album features some of Benatar's most popular hits, including "Shadows of this Night," "Looking for a Stranger," and "Little Too Late." The album showcases Benatar's powerful vocals and the skillful guitar work of her husband and collaborator, Neil Giraldo.

The album is a perfect blend of hard rock and pop, with catchy melodies and driving beats that will have listeners tapping their feet and singing along. The songs on the album are diverse, ranging from the upbeat and energetic "Shadows of this Night" to the more contemplative "The Victim." The lyrics are thoughtful and introspective, exploring themes of love, loss, and self-discovery.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Painted Desert," a haunting ballad that showcases Benatar's vocal range and emotional depth. The song is a beautiful tribute to the natural beauty of the American Southwest and the power of nature to heal and inspire.

Summary by Christopher Ford

Shadows of this Night is a must-have album for any fan of classic rock music. It is a testament to Pat Benatar's talent as a singer and songwriter and a reminder of the enduring power of rock and roll.
