Sure, it does mark the reunion of John and lyricist Bernie Taupin with producer Gus Dudgeon, who helmed John's greatest recordings, but you'd never know it from the sound of the record. And that's what Ice on Fire is - another Elton John album, in the best possible sense. John was riding high on his comeback of the early '80s and ready to turn out another record. While it is hardly a masterpiece - it isn't even up to the standard of such '80s efforts as Too Low for Zero - it's still an enjoyable record, living proof of the power of professionalism. Sandwiched between 1984's Top 20 hit Breaking Hearts and 1986's commercial disaster Leather Jackets, 1985's Ice on Fire is a forgotten Elton John effort.
