| great album. great voice and great guitarist. Eyes of the world is a classic. Overall a bit too glamour and commercial for me but this album rocks....

| This is Rainbow's best album. There is not one weak track. It's just to bad that Grahm Bonnets over inflated ego kept him from recording with Rainbow for another album or two.

| I agree with Bret. I don't understand why people say this album sounds commercial. It totally rocks and although Graham Bonnet may have had short hair he had the roughest voice of all the Rainbow singers.

| Otro fantastico disco de Rainbow, el unico con Graham Bonnet, el cual hizo un maravilloso trabajo en el, pues eso, lastima que solo hiciese uno. Aprovecho para decir que quiero que Candice Night se muera.

| I like this album too. Artwork is from "behind" but it doesn´t make this album sound bad. Graham Bonnet was one Rainbow´s color too.

| Great album. For me it's the band at their peak. ALL NIGHT LONG and SINCE YOU BEEN GONE are 2 of the best tracks. Heard SINCE YOU BEEN GONE on the radio, great tune!

| Who's better, Dio, Bonnett or Turner? Impossible choice, Dio was God, Turner was unbelieble, but maybe this is Rainbow's best Lp. Bonnett makes something special with his special voice, and songs like "Eyes of the world" or "Making love" makes me to flow over the clouds. Great record, great discography and ones of the greatest bands in the world. No doubt.

| He diseñado un humilde site en español a este tremendo cantante que a los 57 años aún roquea como los dioses junto a Impellitteri, así como lo hizo en Alcatrazz, MSG y Rainbow. http://www.tributoagrahambonnet.cl.kz

| I have never been a fan of Bonnet's vocals, but here Blackmore keeps him in check and the great songwriting continues. They come up with some of their most commercial tracks in "Since You've Been Gone" and "All Night Long", but the album tracks harken back to the Dio era. Not as good as the previous two albums, but still excellent. 9/10

| I think that this is probably one of, if not the best post-Dio Rainbow album. "Eyes Of The World" is excellent as are most tracks.There are not really any poor songs, although "Since You Been Gone" seems like a blatant attempt at the top 40.Not Rainbow's best, but near the top for me. Probally number 4 or 5.For "Perfect Stranger," if you haven't yet found out, Bonnet does appear on some live tracks on "Finyl Vinyl." Check it out. Not as good as "On Stage," but a good compilation of Rainbow tunes

| Up to this point Rainbow had been the brilliant brainchild of Blackmore featuring the amazing Dio on vox. However, after the Long Live RnR tour Ronnie was given his walking papers and Graham Bonnet was brought in to give the band a more mainstream sound. What results is something more commercial than the neo-classical metal that was "Rainbow Rising". The result was a hit with the single "Since You Been Gone." There are some classic moments on this disc; Lost in Hollywood & All Night Long.

| I saw them on this tour, which made me appreciate Graham (seemingly eccentric as he seemed). This was not, in my opinion, as good as anything with Dio, but it was excellent nonetheless. Still my opinion is only my opinion. 10/10.

| A lot of people throw around the word "classic" on these pages and most often those so called classics fall way short...However if ever a release deserved to be called a hard rock "classic" it is this one. This sucker is truly roots material for all the hard rock that came after....IMO

| Great album with Graham Bonnet as vocalist. I can't wait for the 2cd deluxe edition rumored to be on the way. Hopefully the second disc will be the Donnington 80 show. Eyes of the World is my favorite track off an album full of great songs. The only song I didn't care for was the hit Since You Been Gone. I just could never get into that song for some reason.

First Rainbow album with GB on the mic duties and for some quite a classic album nowadays,which perhaps,i do agree too beyond not being a great release though and as a personal opinion..."Danger Zone" & "Lost In Hollywood" are the songs of the album to me,the Russ Ballard cover of "Since You've Been Gone" was taken as its own and played it very often back then at concerts...tracks 1 & 2 are also appealing...i'm not a big fan of Bonnet's way of singing but i must admit that in here the man of the Ray-Ban glasses did more than a decent job...87/100

| Graham Bonnett had big little shoes to fill after Dio, and in my mind ... he didn't. Rainbow seemingly had no choice but to go for a more straight-ahead rock sound without Ronnie, which I thought I would like, as I've not always been on board with some of Ritchie's more eccentric tendencies. "All Night Long" jumps out of the gate with another of Ritchie's trademark double-stop riffs in G-minor, but then Bonnett starts singing. He just sounds so generic to me, and the song begins to feel like Rainbow's attempt at their own "Hot Blooded." The other big single was "Since You Been Gone," which is, again, acceptable, but sounds very much a product of its time. "Lost In Hollywood" might be the most metal thing here. Gotta say, the whole affair just sounds kinda stodgy to me. I guess you had to be there, both to get Rainbow and to see the appeal in Graham Bonnett (or Joe Lynn Turner for that matter). I WASN'T there, so I don't really get it.
