This, the 3rd album from USA:s 38 Special, consists of more stadiumorientated melodic adultrock than it's two former albums. Although they stayed true to their southern rock-roots they also managed to create big hit-songs. I really like this album, it has some killer songs.

Larry Junstrom was one of the founding members of Lynyrd Skynyrd with whom he played between 1964 and 1972. he joined 38 Special in 1979, the same year this album was released.

1)Rockin' into the night (7,5) Heavy and melodic rocksong. Killer singalongrefrain.

2)Stone cold believer (8,0) Very simple but effective riff, good singing and good attitude in this slow rocker. I like it!

3)Take me through the night (7,0) A sentimental calmer song with nice guitarsolo. Okey, but it could have been better.

4)Money honey (7,5) Midtempo honkeytonkrocker variating between slow and faster. Nice melody, vocals and piano played by Billy Powell from Lynyrd Skynyrd.

5)The love that I've lost (9,0) Absolutely great southern rocker! Great singing, guitarplaying and melody!

6)You're the captain (7,5)

7)Robin Hood (7,0) Instrumental.

8)You got the deal (7,0)

9)Turn it on (8,5) Rock'n'roll!

Score: 7,67
