The debut soloalbum from the former Styx-member. The first (and almost worst) song on the album, "Girls with guns" was a big hit in the USA and was also featured in the TV-series Miami Vice. The album reached nr.50 on the Billboard-chart. This album contains soft and melodic hardrock, better known as AOR (Adult Orintaited Rock).

Peter Wood worked with Al Stewart, Roger Waters, Bob Dylan, Cindy Lauper and more before his death in 1993.

1)Girls with guns (5,5) Platic drumsound a lá 1984.

2)Come in and explain (7,5) Good heavy melodic hardrock with a very good refrain that lifts the song.

3)Lonely school (6,0)A ballad that is a little too cheezy.

4)Heads up (7,5) Co-written with Kenny Loggins, another softrockartist.  A good rocksong with good singing as always by Shaw. Also nice guitarplaying.

5)Kiss me hello (7,0) Kind of a ballad with good melody but a little too long.

6)Fading away (7,0) Reaggeish song, okey.

7)Little girl world (5,0) Not the best ballad, kind of strange. Of all artists, G.G Allin (1956-1993) also sings on this song but there is no note on the record about this.

8)Outside in the rain (6,0) Duet with Carol Kenyon. Not very good.

9)Free to love you (6,5) Incredible melodic singing but the song isn't that good.

10)The race is on (7,0) Okey end of the album. I like the saxophonesolos.

Score: 6,50
