What a great comeback of a glam metal legend, KEEL. 'Streets of Rock & Roll' contained most of things that you like from the band. Soaring vocal, roaring guitars, heavy and energetic riffs, killer solos, pounding drums, that kind of stuffs that probably will remind you a lot to the heyday of the 80s. The opening title track pumps up the heat; 'Hit The Ground Running' is a good track but the next one is even better, 'Come Hell or High Water', I don't believe if this track can't move your toe and shake your head. I spotted a little volatility in this disc, meaning there are several weaker tracks like 'Gimme That' or 'Hold Steady', but there are also few winners such as 'Does Anybody Believe', 'No More Lonely Nights', and 'Live'.

Ron's vocal isn't as great as it used to be, but 20 years has passed so that's totally expected. The performance is tight and I'll gladly say this again, a very nice come back by the band that created a big hit of 'The Right To Rock' and 'The Final Frontier'. Deserved at least 80% and I'm sure this will receive a frequent spins by many!
