Album Notes & Community Reviews

Riding the massive success of their previous rebranding, the veteran band continued their pursuit of slick, synthesizer-driven commercial rock. 'No Protection' is largely defined by the inclusion of the monumental, Oscar-nominated hit 'Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now'. The glossy AOR production firmly distanced the group from their psychedelic sixties origins while ensuring immense late-eighties radio dominance.
