My least favourite Saga release. Gone are Jim Gilmour and Steve Negus from the line up, one of the main problems with this i think. To me it doesn't have that magic Saga touch the previous albums had, and the material is certainly far from their best, although the songs are good in general. Ian Crichton is still a God though, and anything with him playing on is still well worthy of listening too.

This has more of a pop/AOR feel to it with the keyboards at the forefront. This is not a bad thing though. 'Don't Put Out The Fire' and 'Wildest Dreams' have that same Saga cohesiveness, but gone are the progressive tendencies, of which probably has Jez at a loss. The songs are strong and classy, just not as progressive. Solid release throughout.

Still one of my fave Saga albums. I thought Behaviour was a little stodgy (but still fierce) and this kind of came across like a breath of fresh air. All the songs on the release are very strong and there are some great keyboard flourishes and again Ian Crichton's guitar just flies. I think this album stopped the band ending up at a dead end musically as something had to change after Behaviour as the albums were getting a little samey although still of great quality.

Reading another review of a Saga album,a person said that this album was very poor and was not compared to their first 5 albums.Well i must say that probably he's right(i put 'he'because i want you to check his comment on the 'Throwing shape...' album by Saga too)but let me tell you that this is a good aor-pop album.Maybe is not 'classical Saga' but for sure it has some great tunes.'Don't put out the fire','only time will tell' and 'chase the wind' are good examples of it.8/10

This is an example about the best mixture Aor-prog made in the eighties, all of songs are pure jewels....terrific keyboards, soft guitars & tanks Michael for the work voices...Classic 9.2/10

Really outstanding AOR album. As a progressive rock album, maybe it fails, but as an AOR album it's one of the best. Perfectly produced by AOR-producer Keith Olson. Great vocal melodies, great guitar/synthaxe and keyboard work. The album is kind of short (35 minutes) but every second of music is pure quality. One of the best produced AOR albums in my collection. I wish more AOR releases had this quality.

NO this is not a regular Saga album, but get over it and listen to it as an AOR album, it's awesome, Wildest Dreams is one of the best songs ever.
