Album Notes & Community Reviews
Marking a crucial transition for the NWOBHM veterans, this album introduced new vocalist Nicky Moore following Bruce Dickinson's departure to Iron Maiden. The recording showcases a shift towards a more melodic, slightly polished hard rock approach while retaining their signature driving guitar riffs. It stands as a resilient, highly capable effort from a band navigating major lineup instability.
