3rd top class release and an absolute classic. Why this band was never huge is beyond me as they had everything going for them. All three of their albums are essential (when is Friction going to be oficially released on cd). This one is their best, with an excellent blend of Heavier tracks (Coming To Get You, He's A Champion) and a lighter, slightly more melodic (She's Gone, Girl From Last Nights Dream), although all contain the killer choruses and tight playing/ production we all love.

Indeed, this is super class stuff from one of Canadians very best, if not the best hardrock band from over there. It's pure hardrock but with great hooks and melodies. This was a band to make it to the top ! But they never made it, a real shame ! We need such bands to come back and to learn what great, pure melodic hardrock is all about. The young bands can learn a lot about this mighty band. ESSENTIAL, and don't forget their debut, another milestone in hardrock !

I Only have this album from Coney Hatch...I must admit I thought it was much worse. As you all put it above it's pretty good stuff. Superior mid-80s HardRock

As of this moment, the powers that be have Remastered the first 2 cd's. DO NOT FORGET THIS ONE. Apparently, they have saved the best for last. This cd is their all around best. The others have their moments but top to bottom, this is a classic . Not one weak song. A MUST HAVE.

From: stryper	Date: February 2, 2006 at 11:35
yeah.this is the real deal.can't say i like the other two.but this one.is perfect.not one duff song.

Gran disco de estos canadienses, practican un hard rock con unas guitarras demoledoras, desde el comienzo con esa entrada de batería guitarra asesinas, el segundo tema es melódico que te engancha y te hace soñar con esos maravillosos años 80´s, el riff de wrong side of town excelente, otra con ese gancho maravilloso girl from last night´s dream, ni que decir de fantasy estoy que veo el video clip wouw otra lección de melodía, la rockera he´s a champion con esos coros demoledores,grandioso disco.

From: FraNu	Date: November 12, 2006 at 12:11
Yes.. got this one a few days ago. Great record!! And now it is enjoyable to listen to the drum sound and drumming itself. Now powerful drumming, not this wimpy shit from the 2nd record. Listen to both records and you know what I mean. Maybe this personal change was comming to late for them....

From: shoemaker	Date: April 10, 2007 at 16:37
Stryper is right!

From: rick kerch vzla	Date: September 2, 2011 at 22:44
Third album and undoubtebly the band's best one!!!...a great mix of Hard Rocking tracks with AOR feel ones...my faves are the ones with the AOR feel("She's Gone","Girl From Last Night's Dream" & "Fantasy") but "This Ain't Love","Wrong Side Of Town"(roocks good!) & "State Line" also rule...very enjoyable album indeed...90/100

very good release by CONEY HATCH ,still with their hard rock sound and attitude and high level of musicianship.the unsolved problem remains though ,that after 3 fine release there isn t still one big hit,one catchy chorus that can go through the mass and not only through hard rock fans.Max Norman in production does a fantastic job and there are some truly good songs like "this ain t love","she s gone","fantasy" and "girl from lat night s dream".i am really satisfied when i give this a spin
