| Late Praying Mantis started the new band with Clive Burr(ex-Iron Maiden) by using Escape,then Tygon(unsure but sounds like this),and finally Stratus.Sounds very similar to Praying Mantis but more ordinary British Hard Rock.If you like Lionheart,this is alo for you.

| As mentioned above, this features Clive Burr ex Iron Maiden, Bernie Shaw ex Grand Prix (now Uriah Heep) & The Troy Bros. from Praying Mantis and is a good example of Brit AOR/Melodic rock of the time. It isn't of the best quality recording wise it has to be said & it obviously wasn't a big budget recording, although this transfer from wherever it was sourced,is about as good as you are going to get & is well above the acceptable level. 'Throwing Shapes' has some nice tracks on show, with 'Back Street Lovers' starting things off, giving a pretty good indication of where the band are pitching themselves and what to expect for the next 40 odd minutes. 'Give Me One More Chance' is the albums ballad and a pretty good one at that , whilst 'Romancer' & 'Run For Your Life' have a nice uptempo Pompy feel to them. There's a couple of tracks I am not to keen on, but overall, this is a pretty good album, that maybe of it's time, but is one to check out for all the 80's AOR fans out there.

| WoW! Clive Burr ex-Iron Maiden/Trust/Praying Mantis here! Troyīs Bros(Praying Mantis and Uriah Heep), you just can wait a really good album. Very Nice British AOR/MR album of that time indeed āla Lionheart thatīs for sure. Obviously i prefer more side A, i mean The first 4 Tracks and 'Enough Is Enough', 'Give Me One More Chance' is the only ballad here, Good! 8.5/10

Yeah this was a Project Clive Burr of Iron Maiden fame(R.I.P.)did back in the 80's and recently the album was reissued(in 2008 to be precised)...full of keyboards and with that typical British AOR sound that reminds me of bands such as Fastway(AOR era),Statetrooper,Midnight Blue,Legs Diamond and some others of the genre...best tracks for me are 2,6 & the rocking 10...some other fine moments are tracks 1,3,4(nice one)& 8...production is not the best but somehow acceptable.85/100

| Originally released in 1984! I like it, I think its really good, but the copy I have sounds like it was recorded from vinyl.

| @AORLUVER, are you sure you are not listening to Guns n' Roses instead of Stratus???? This album, BY STRATUS, is very good....
