| I've been listening to this trying to think of who it reminds me of ,and in my opinion it' James Lebrie when he was in Winter Rose. Anyone else?

| Wow, man this is great. Can't put it into words how good this album is. Have been listening to this non-stop for about 3 days now and loving it. Pure 80's hard rock, should be in this years top 5 for sure. Every song is a winner, a rare case of all killer-no filler. Essential for everyone viewing this site! 98/100

| Without a doubt the best new release I've heard from 2011. The production and vocals are out of this world. Love's on the Line is my current favourite.

| This album just doesn't get old. Maybe my favorite AOR album since the 80's..yeah, it's that good. Everything is right on this one, the production is excellent, the songs are all winners, great musicianship and one important ingredient: great keyboards. Don't miss this one! 98/100

| What really strikes me about this record is the mix. Everything sounds absolutely MASSIVE, HUMONGOUS. And Eriksen's voice absolutely SOARS over EVERYTHING. I can hardly believe how good this is.

| First 5 songs are simply awesome, I re-listened to it some days ago. The rest is excellent but not essential.

| One of the best AOR albums Iīve heard. When we talk about AOR classics we think about Alien, Survivor, Journey, Toto, Aviator, FM, Mark Free, Work Of Art, and other known names but we have to add this one to the essential collection. In my opinion this is the best AOR album Europe never made: All the songs have hooks and my faves are "Cheated by love" (those keys and the guitars are like wow), "Angel" (Michael Eriksen whatta singer), that energetic "Satin and Lace", "Smoke and Fire" (Totally Europe and much better than them), "Tired Of dreaming" (amazing chorus) and "Bullets". THis is one of those AOR albums you can listen to without skipping one single song īcos seems these guys had the mission of doinī an album full of potential eighties radio AOR hits and goddamn they did. You gotta have it right now
