| Yes, indeed a spectacular album...Great to hear Mr.Fast before his involvement with Pretty Maids...The tracks are typical mid-80s melodic metal with high emphasis on guitars & vocals. It's pretty rare these days so do pick it up if you find it...It's worth it!

| Hahaha just read an interview with Michael Fast...HERO were named COLD PIZZA prior to this release...I'd have changed the name too!

HERO and COLD PIZZA? Both sound like something you'd have for breakfast after a hard night. I'll have to hear something from them just out of curiosity!

| Yeah, right on Christine! This is a very cool album if you can find it...I don't know why the Ebay average price is so low since it's a pretty rare item...But very recommended.

| Scandinavia. Hej du. I think its because, the price is from the Judas Priest release called Hero. Click on the ebay price and you'll see.

| There's another band called Hero and I prefer those guys, but this isn't that bad. A lot of keyboards, and some decent tracks. I guess you could slightly compare it to Pretty Maids 'Future world' BUT, with 3/4 of the song writing quality. But a sort of similar sound... sort of, a little more AOR though. It's hard to pinpoint, but all in all this is pretty average AOR.

I only have a CDR and am not sure if it is copied from CD or from LP. Sorry, can't help. If I had to guess, I'd say it's definately copied from a CD though.

| I don't think it was ever pressed on CD...I only own the original LP version and my homemade CD copy ...But a worthy release none the less!!
