Album Notes & Community Reviews

In a calculated attempt to break into the lucrative American arena rock market, the NWOBHM veterans completely overhauled their sound for this highly controversial release. The production heavily features synthesizers, polished AOR melodies, and a cover of Christopher Cross's 'Ride Like the Wind'. While it alienated their traditional heavy metal fanbase, it successfully yielded several melodic, anthemic rock tracks.
