Album Notes & Community Reviews
Attempting to navigate the heavily shifted musical landscape of the mid-90s, the German hard rock veterans lean heavily into accessible, melodic territory. The record favors highly produced acoustic power ballads and mid-tempo AOR numbers over their traditional, high-energy heavy metal riffing.
