Album Notes & Community Reviews

The Canadian power trio delivers a highly polished, arena-ready effort with 'Never Surrender', doubling down on their progressive-leaning hard rock format. The album balances Rik Emmett's fiery guitar heroics with lush, synthesized AOR choruses and uplifting, anthemic lyricism. It was a significant commercial success, keeping the band heavily rotated on FM radio and MTV.
