This is one of my alltime favourite albums! It was the first to feature drummer Nicko McBrain who previously played with the french band Trust. Former drummer Clive Burr had left the band due to personal and touring-scedule issues. The band really developed into a direction I have learned to appreciate, it's not always easylistening heavy metal on this album, more of a very melodic progressive heavy style with incredibly strong songs and great individual playingskills and also variation in the quite longs songs. I can listen to this album over and over again, I never grow tired of these songs and it's one of the best albums that ever has been recorded, that is absolutely sure! Enjoyment of the highest level!

The album reached nr. 3 on the UK charts and nr. 14 in the USA.
