Stryper is a hardrockband from Orange County, California. They formed in 1983 and this is their 2nd album. It's actually an expanding of their 1st release, an EP with the same name that came out in 1984. In the beginning C.C Deville, later of Poison-fame played in the band during a short time. They are a christian band and at least in the first years they threw bibles and other symbolic features to the audiences and in other ways protested against the devilsymbolics that was popular in the hardrockcommunity at the time.

This album is quite uneven. There are some okey tracks but also some which are not very good. But you can hear that they had the ability to do good songs and it did come later on.

1)Lound'n'clear (6,0) Amateurish sound on this midtempo track that is okey but as an albumopener it's too weak.

2)From wrong to right (7,0) A better track with strong back-up vocals from Oz and Tim.

3)My love I'll always show (3,0) Cheeeezy! Sounds like femal vocals and the title is as cheezy as the song. Terrible.

4)You know what to do (7,0) Here you can hear that this band had better things coming. A heavy riff with their characteristic guitar- and drumsound.

5)Co'mon rock (7,0)

6)You won't be lonely (4,0) Terrible cheezy and repetitive track.

7)Loving you (6,0)

8)Reason for the season (5,0)

Score: 5,63
