With Joe Lynn Turner on board, Rainbow tried one crossover record and one no-frills hard-rock record -- which meant that Bent out of Shape, their third album with Turner, provided a fine opportunity to get a little arty. Not that the band has turned into Genesis or even returned to the mystical pretentions of their early work; they have merely broadened their horizons. Roger Glover has widened their sonic horizon without losing sonic muscle, making sure that the album is, at its core, hard rock. His production works, since the record hits pretty hard even when it gets a little fruity, which it does quite often -- the stately, silly church organs that "Can't Let You Go," the fugue-like cadences of "Fire Dance"), the mock-classical instrumental "Anybody There." Those instrumental flourishes highlights Bent Out Of Shape's true strength, which is its sonics -- the record sounds good and the music flows well.
