| This one is an 80ies classic. Strong album with the best cover of "paint it black" I´ve ever heard.

| Very good AOR album! With strong vocals from John Francis and some really nice songs. Just listen to "Better late than never" and the best track on the album "Another lonely night"...it´s perfect AOR. They sounds a bit like Tradia but with a little harder edge.

| Buen Cd de AOR con un cantante de voz muy personal. Buenos temas pero mala producción, aun así merece mucho la pena. Great AOR Cd with good songs and a good singer.

| This is a good xample of 80es melodic rock, very "rockmantic",rock me in the sweetest way. Remind me a bit of Da Vinci, but it got heavier distortion. Give more keyboard and dont ever cut those big hair.

| Very good melodic rock. I guess a little on the average side compared to a lot of the bands around at the same time doing a similar style of music, but still a good release. Nothing that really sticks out as a killer track, but a good solid AOR / melodic rock CD.

Good AOR album, me agrado este album tiene sus buenos temas como  Another Lonely Night(el mejor corte sin dudas un tremendo corte de puro AOR), Better Late Than Never, Without You, The Game no es una joya pero es un buen album, Ingleses con un estilo mas influenciado por el sonido canadiense de esa epoca.

| I can't imagine why After hours didn't become AOR staples of the 80s, their sound is polished yet lightly melodic, John Francis certainly has one great voice, can only really compare his voice to Steve Perry (of Journey), but deeper and more soulful. There are some really good songs on here such as 'Another Lonely Night' and 'Without You', there are some RAR files of this album on the internet, if you search you shall find! Very good album...

| A lost gem of the AOR genre.Excellent songs, soulful vocals, great keys.They reminded me of FM or JOURNEY for some reason."Better Late Than Never" & "Another Lonely Night" they are really astonishing tracks.The cover of "Paint It Black" is also fantastic.This album is a pure 80s superb AOR! (9.5/10)

| This is one of the finest AOR bands coming out of the UK during the 80's. This CD has it all......the voice, explosive keyboards, sweet guitars, uptempo melodic songs loaded with harmony......an AOR listener's delite!!! There's also an awesome cover of "Paint It Black" you won't want to miss. Fans of early FM-UK, JOURNEY and BLUE TEARS will totally enjoy this CD as I did!!!
