| Europe...no, It's the new Norum record I've just heard. Same guitar riff here that It as on the new Europe rec. but he has no new ideas. Love his voice...even he think he Is Mr. Lynott. Better luck next time, because I know he can do so much better.

| Made up my mind ever before I new who was singing that I didn't like the vocals, then I saw why. Most guitarist should stick to what they do best, that includes John Norum, Zack Wilde, Jeff Waters and alike. The guitarist that made the transition with honor is Christopher Amott of Armageddon, very well done. http://www.bnrmetal.com/groups/arma.htm

| Absolute rubbish the previous comments! This album is one of the best hard rock albums that I know! It is to say complete nonsense the guitarist can not sing! John Norum has a great voice and he sings sometimes better than any other normal singer ! The album is rocking the guitar .. just great! Highly recommended album for fans of Winger, Mad Margritt .....!!! Other bands such as Europe and their scrap album 'Prisoners in Paradise' could benefit from this wonderful album to learn! And guitarist can not sing ... yes? What, then, Kip Winger (bass) ... Blacky Lawless (WASP), Meniketti (Y & T), Chris Laney, ETC ETC! These are all top Top singers with albums! Who says guitarist can not sing or this album by John Norum is poor who do not pull no idea of hard rock and needs to wonderful albums in the dirt!

Well...for some is a good album for some is bad...for me is a regular release that has some Black Label Society touches(try track #2 "Nailed To The Cross")...John's a wonderful musician but if i have to recommend albums by the man himself has to be "Total Control" & "Face The Truth"..."Chase Down The Moon","Time To Run" & "Forced"....the rest....  ...80/100
