Good Hard Rock, El problema de los primeros 80's justo hasta este 83 es que en casi la mayoria de albums salvo algunos que los hay y son tremendos el resto todavia tiene mucho de 70's que de 80's y es por eso que a partir del 84 es donde la Magia y frescura de los 80's empieza en su maximo nivel este album es de los tantos donde los 70's impera y quiza por eso no tenga el nivel de sus siguientes trabajos es un buen disco pero hasta alli nomas asi que tendra que gustarte el estilo 70's sino 7/10

Y esto es hablando de Hard Rock y AOR ya que en lo referente a Heavy Metal Pop Rock o New Wave la magia y frescura de los 80's se sintio desde los primeros aņos.

Petra means rock, and Petra began to rock a little better on this release, and in doing so struck a chord with Christians, especially Christian teenagers, who were getting acclimated to the idea of Christian rock music and deciding they really liked it. Of course, what was called "rock" back then is really "AOR" by today's standards, but who's quibbling? There are some truly memorable tracks on this album (though to be fair, I may be hearing them through the wistful ears of nostalgia), such as "Grave Robber" (to this day, one of my favorite CCM songs), "Pied Piper," and the hauntingly moody title track. Granted, for anyone that did not grow up with this album, it may not seem exactly out of this world, but it's still pretty good stuff for classic Christian rock fans.
