Album Notes & Community Reviews

Significantly marking the first studio recording to feature the band's original lineup in over twenty-five years, 'Phoenix' successfully resurrects their trademark arena-rock sound. The polished, melodic tracks lean heavily into classic AOR aesthetics, sprinkled with the symphonic prog flourishes that defined their early 1980s peak.
