All songs on this album by former Uriah Heep-keyboardist and guitarrist Ken Hensley have a strong Uriah Heep-feel to them.The songs tell a self-biographical story about the rise and fall of a rock'n'roll-star. I like this album even if it looses tempo at the end. There are some strong hard rock-songs on it and norweigan Jörn Lande (ex.Masterplan) makes a really good job on lifting them. Also ex. Uriah Heep-singer John Lawton and my favorite-singer Glenn Hughes (ex.Deep Purple, Trapeze etc.) and Eve Gallagher sings on it.There's lot of melody and organ. The album was recorded in Spain with spanish musicians.

1)(This is) just the beginning (8,0) A really good melodic start with Jörn Lande putting on some strong vocals.

2)Were on our way (7,5) Uptempo rocker. Hensley and Lande sharing vocals.

3)Blood on the highway (8,0) A beautiful and laid back rocker.

4)You've got it (The american dream) (8,5) A great uptempo rocker!

5)Doom scene 1 (-)

6)It won't last (7,0) John Lawton (ex. Uriah Heep on vocals)

7)Think twice (Is it the music or the man?) (6,5) A Meat Loaf-style symphonic laid back rock song. Eve Gallagher on vocals.

8)Doom scene 2 (-)

9)There comes a time (8,0) Hensley sings this sensitive song just like former Uriah Heep-vocalist David Byron. Cool.

10)Okay this house is down (8,0) Uptempo rocker with Lande on vocals again.

11)What you gonna do (6,5) Glenn Hughes on vocals.

12)We're on our way...Postscript (solo) verse (-)

13)I dit it all (6,0)  A ballad that just makes it above the cheesy-level. Too many soft songs at the end of the album.

14)The last dance (El citano viejo) (9,0) 8-minute pompous and epic ballad building up to a chaotic end. Glenn Hughes on vocals.
