Emphasizing a polished, synthesizer-heavy sound under the production of Bruce Fairbairn, the veteran hard rock band aimed squarely at the mid-80s mainstream. The album features the MTV staple 'Shooting Shark', co-written with Patti Smith, alongside a sleek, commercial approach to their signature occult themes. It marks their first album without founding drummer Albert Bouchard, alienating much of their early heavy metal fanbase.
