| This is one of the great AOR/hard rock albums of all time. Right up there with Harem Scarem "Mood Swings". This band does everything Journey does, but better. Great memorable melodies which come back to me throughout the day. Strong vocals plus guitar breaks which would make impress Schenker. Some of the slow songs remind me of The Babys ballads. Do yourself a favor and get the Jap import with the bonus song. Cheers.

| Tony Ritchie on vocals is the best to Balance Of Power. He needs to come back on vocals! United State of Mind is nice but Tony Ritchie is much better in Balance of Power (on the vocals).

| Como dicen de gustos y colores, el cantante me parece que fue reemplazado por que no daba, Lance King tampoco me parecía lo máximo por la voz demasiada aguda por momentos pero es mucho mejor. El disco no me parece nada del otro mundo,no es malo pero muy superiores son los siguientes aunque claro se volvieron más heavy. Para mi gusto las mejores son la 3 y el bonus japonés. Lo que si me ha sorprendido es el grupo Pyramaze donde canta Lance parece otro.

| Que buen Melodic Hard Rock, despidiendo los 90's aqui balance Of power nos deja tremenda obra temas melodicos muy parejos casi todos pero nada como "Summer's Over" Y "Cant Loose The Book" unos sonidos bestiales lo mejorsito del Dizco..

| Not a bad album but they really don't hit their stride until Lance King joins the mix. Not that Tony Ritchie is bad but Lance just took them to that next level.
