This is the 13th album from Magnum and it's unmistakebly Magnum but the albums from these years are so much alike eachother and so are the songs on this album. It's as melodic as ever and here and there there is some progressiveness but it dissappears in the too melodic mess. The drumsound is too rough. The cover promises much but the album don't live up to it. But it's never bad though! Tony Clarking is too much of an good songwriter for that. Not an album I would care too listen to very much. It reached nr. 70 on the british charts and nr. 60 in Germany. For this album Magnum took in sessionplayer Jimmy Copley on drums. He has recorded with Tony Iommi, Paul Rodgers, Pretenders, Tears For Fears and many more.
