Hi. This one is great. Just like everything that man made. IT's very catchy and moody, i love song called ''walk the line''. Stan has got ''that something'', and he showed that on this release, also check his other releases and metropolis album. Highly recommeded.

Fantastic AOR from our man, Stan ! AOR, typical from the eighties and that means : quality ! Search and buy !

The sound is somewhere between the commericalism of Bryan Adams and the punchiness of Stan Bush for example. In fact, Meissner's choruses are one of his best attributes. They are so good. Take a listen to 'Heart Of Ice', 'I Want Everything' and the delicious 'I'll Wait For You', one of my all time favorite Meissner songs. 'Coming Out Of Nowhere' is a sensational slice of AOR, as is 'Lifeline', while 'Counting On Love' is another hard rocker which has passages similar to fellow Canadians Sheriff.

Muy bueno, de esos discos que hay que escuchar varias veces para pillar los detalles. Aquí hay temazos como I'll be wait for you o Walk the line.

Perhaps not as instantly likeable as Dangerous Games, but in retrospect is the better album, which should have made him a household name, rather than one of the many names of former AOR greats appearing in Celine Dion's liner notes. Very enjoyable in the same super smooth vibe as Dangerous Games, although this one is slightly more upbeat. Absolutely Essential for westcoast fans and music ala Michael Thompson Band. Reccomended. 8.5/10.

AOR de muchos kilates, temas con unos arreglos bien cuidados donde los teclados, guitarras y voces de Stan Meissner son una clara alusión a la perfección de la música rock en general, a quien no le gustaría temazos como Heart of ice,Wild and blue,I can´t break away...,Walk the line(mi favorita),estaría loco o sordo, lástima que solo saco tres albumes, queremos más discos Mr Stan Meissner por el bien de la música...9.5/10.

Un album que te llenara de buenos sentimientos AOR!!!,tan bueno como el 1º con la diferencia que este se nota algo mas solido y encima guitarras mas resolutivas, aparte Meissner incluyo acertadamente saxo en un tema y no la cag® como a veces suele pasarle al monton,algo que estuvo de moda en esa decada pero al menos para mi sin fortuna (y que levante la mano aquel que le guste ver y oir a un saxofinista de rock melodico ehh? no hay modo) un buen Disco que te dejara casi satisfecho 9.5/10

Que duda cabe, Corcuerdo plenamente con Lalorock y Carlos. El voceras de Toad The Wet Sprocket de seguro debe haber escuchado a Stan Meissner, en todo caso, su voz es muy parecida y mas en temas tan deprimentes pero en el buen sentido de la palabra como "I'll Wait For You" "Walk The Line" o en "I Can't Break Away From You" y en "Endless Ride" me recordó en algo a esa hermosa "Woman In Chains" de Tears For Fears. Realmente un Súper-Discazo. Como dijo Lalorock "Perfección", eso resume todo. 9.5/10

Excelent, Excelent album!! You have just to love those Canadians! They sure know how to rock! Except for Rycheage, nobody has mentioned the anthem "Lifeline", IMHO one of the best melodic songs ever! Un disco excelente, como siempre los canadienses saben como hacer rock melódico de calidad. Casi nadie ha comentado "Lifeline", que es un pedazo de tema, para mí todo un himno! Para acabar, saludos a Rafo Phoenix, mi paisano Robert,Juan Carlos y a los que hacéis comentarios tan acertados y que ayudan un monton!Gracias! AOR, MELODIC ROCK FOREVER!!! 8/10

From: Rafo Phoenix	Date: June 4, 2010 at 21:03
Hi Dani Darko of course mate "Lifeline" is a super song and this album a total classic! Saludos Dani y suerte España!

Wow, extremely overrated. If you like it laidback and on the edge to boring, non variated singing etc then you will love this. Heart Of Ice is kind of catchy but the most of the rest of the songs are lame and boring.

From: covergirl	Date: September 13, 2023 at 20:22
Fantastic melodic/aor release. Songs are really catchy and the vocals are fantastic. Easily recommended.
