Album Notes & Community Reviews

Marking their best-selling studio release worldwide, the record documents the band's peak commercial resurgence in the 1990s. The production by Bruce Fairbairn emphasizes high-impact rhythmic foundations and high-gloss brass sections, facilitating a series of radio-ready power ballads and blues-infused rockers. It remains a key artifact of the arena rock era, known for its extensive music video campaign and refined instrumental interplay.
