| The most underrated AOR album! Tommy and Don once played behind Eddie Money, and so they are very skillful. The title song is my best driving tune!

| An absolute AOR gem. This Cd is awesome. The songs are perfect, soaring melodies and catchy choruses. An underated album. Tommy Girvin vocals are prefect for this kind of music. Buy it!!, a lot of good tunes but the first track worths the album value itself. Uno de los mejores y más desconocidos Cd´s de hard Aor de la historia. javi

| Great to see I'm not alone in raving about this album. Tommy Girvin's vocals are a glorious mix of John Waite, Don Henley and Van Stephenson. The lyrics are straight out of the classic AOR 'loved and lost' songbook!

| Highlights include the smooth radio friendly 'Middle Of The Night' and the rather Van Stephenson flavored 'Was It Worth Goodbye'. The anthemic 'Can You Fall In Love Again' is nice, while 'Can You Take The Heartache' has a hook right out of The Storm. Overall a good solid effort, not overly brilliant, but good nonetheless.

| Delighted to see the great comments here, as I admit I am much more into melodic hard rock than AOR, but every now and then you hear a release like this and you just have to love it. Absolutely excellent CD! The vocals remind me of John Waite at times (Is that foolish?!) and are just superb, but it's the songs here that make it. 'Wounded by love', 'Can you fall in love again' and the awesome 'Can you take the heartache' are faves but this is just a great album overall. Highly recommended!

| MTM released in that epriod of time a couple of great albums like Stun Leer and (the first) Steelhouse Lane. This is right up there and just as good. Excellent production, good songwriting. Best songs: Wounded by Love, Trouble in Paradise, Good loving gone bad and Cant you take the heartache. Great album all in all !

| Hmmm, maybe I'm alone here, but sorry Erik, i could never put this album together with the perfects Stun Leer and Steelhouse Lane. I'm not saying this isn't good, but you overrated it IMO.

| This is quality A.O.R.cd.But you can't put this up against Steelhouse Lane or vice-versa....

Oh i agree Melodicman. Its not as good as Stun Leer or Steelhouse Lane. But it think it was a really good sounding release and a nice addition for anyone's( aor/rock) collection. Would have loved to see a follow up tho

Yeahhh Boys, this a Great AOR/Melodic Rock album, una de los mejores discos que escuchado de una banda cristiana, temazos como  Good Lovin' Gone Bad, Trouble in Paradise, Can't Live Without Your Love, Can You Take the Heartache, Wounded By Love por poner solo algunos. un album completo. Estoy aca con mi pata Mario, le encanto el grupo como a mi, aparte en mi ciudad ica somos los unicos que escuchamos este estilo de musica, o hay algun iqueño? Recomendado 100%.

| Sorry guys but giving the fact that is quite good staff I don't think it's so great as it claims to be!! First: Production(sorry dear Rob) it's everything but good, miles away from the 80's style; and the songwriting make it sound too much melodic rock and so few aor in there. My advise, get it but don't rush for it.

| Aor ala old school but in recent years?.Not so many bands have the guts to do something like this nowadays but the effort was pleasant.Not an 100 0.000000e+00ssential but worth the try.

| Great and amazing album,Tommy Girvin´s voice is like Bryan Adams meets Don Henley,listen Middle of the night(Bryan Adams!),Good lovin´gone bad(the voice of the mighty EAGLES),Can you fall in love again both of them with great feelings,is a wonderful ballad;AOR at it´s finest, Wounded by love and Can you take the heartache are my favorites,in fact all the songs are incredibles,9.5/10.

| Decent AOR stuff with a very bad timing(1997)...

| I bought this CD 4 years ago because of many positive comments in different AOR/MR Sites.. Decent? mmm don´t think so but good/ok for me. "Was It Worth Goodbye" "Middle of the Nigh" and the ballad "Can You Fall in Love Again" are by far my faves. Girvin´s voice reminds me of Mike Reno from Loverboy but not in a good way(too mellow for my taste). It´s a good album but mmm.. i prefer Eddie Money by far. I have this CD for Sale.. 8/10

| Just a fantastic AOR release. Luckily I own the Japanese pressing which contains a bonus track called “I can’t stay away” which is alone worth obtaining this cd for! Just amazing! 90/100.
