The seventh album from this band from Great Britain.
The band was a quintet with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, keyboards and vocals.
A male vocalist and a choir added backing vocals on a couple of tracks. Another guest added some programming too.
I believe I bought this album on cassette back in Norway when it was released in 1988. I was not overly impressed by it as I was in a metal phase (Iron Maiden, Metallica, Slayer etc) back then. The music here was too soft for me.
The music on this three quarters of an hour long album is pomp rock with a lot of AOR influences and some hints of progressive rock.
The music is very melodic with some catchy tunes. That is the first thirty-five minutes of this album. The final ten minutes is a ten minutes long epic which has some symphonic prog influences and is a pretty good album.
There is also a couple of songs which is very much, at best, half-decent and makes me cringe.
This makes this a decent album but nothing more than that. If pomp rock/AOR floats your boat...
