What was interesting about this disc is that the band shortened their name to simply LRB and adopted a heavier approach to their music. Well... it ain't exactly metal, but it's more rockin' than anything they put out before. Haven't heard this album in a long time, but some of the songs still stick in my mind; especially the title track. Incidentally, they reverted back to their full band name after this release. Good stuff. I may just have to get it on cd.

Excellent transition from their trademark sound of 70's lite-pomp to a more distinctive harder-edged sound. Not exactly hard rock but more punch than we were used to. "Playing To Win" is a pomp masterpiece and "When Cathedrals Were White" reminds me of an AOR-inspired Kansas. "Relentless" and "Count Me In" are AOR icons. A must own for any AOR fan out there. Great stuff.

The title track is a REAL MONSTER!!I remember when i first heard it on the radio,i was totally blown away by it's powerful vibe, and that ..VOICE!!!What a GODLY VOICE is that!!The rest stuff is also FANTASTIC with "reappear", "Blame on me" and "Count me in" being my faves.BUY!

Saw them do Blind Eyes on US show called Solid Gold - an absolute corker. The album has some great stuff with John Farnham really bellowing but also some very dated songs in between the diamonds

From: rick kerch vzla Date: January 8, 2007 at 20:26
This is the Heavier side of LRB.The songs are really good and it has the tipical touch of aor that the readers might spect.7/10

From: juan carlos Date: October 9, 2007 at 16:37
Un AOR con toques pomposos y de Hi-tech como no. Excelente producción aunque en temas si hay pocos gustables para mí. Gran inicio con "Playing To Win"(el tema bonus con la versión extendida de este tema tambien muy bueno) movidito y buenos teclados, "Blind Eyes" buena balada que me recuerda horrores a Magnum, la elegante "Through Her Eyes", "Count Me In" y los coros bien melódicos en "Piece Of The Dream" mis preferidos. La voz de John Farnham mas que aceptable. 7.5/10

From: Real rock fan Date: December 9, 2008 at 15:55
Another great John Farnham era Little River Band album. IMO, not as good as their previous album - The Net but still some great tracks.
