| Just picked up this album on CD. Had a really bad audio copy of this back in 1989 and didn't think much of it at the time. Some tracks sound a bit dated but it is still a Great AOR/M Rock album. Fans of his work with Giant will love it. Not a bad song on the album. 9/10.

| THe singer's voice immitiately reminded me on THORSTEN FLAKNE from STAGE DOLLS. Musically the two bands are not so far away from each other too. This version of SUSPICIOUS HEART I'd even rate a little bit higher than that from WORRALL. Soundwise it's all amongst the best AOR bands as also BLVD. or RED DAWN. The songs all shine except maybe some in the middle of the CD. At least this 'High Vaultage' re-release from 1996 seems to be a bit bad produced (I hear some crackles using the CD portable).

More or less in the same direction as Righteous Anger...both albums are really good to have indeed...it is a shame that Van has left us way too soon phisically but that's how life goes  ...anyway for me the best shot of this record is the last track "No Secrets" but u can find some other goodies in "We're Doing Alright","(We Should Be)Together Tonight"(this one is a brilliant smooth song),"Suspicious Heart"(catchy),"Fist Full Of Heart" & "Make It Glamorous"...get it...86/100

| Van Stephenson is really a must, i agree with you. I also have an older vinyl of Van. CHINA GIRL. First Track on it LION IN THE NIGHT is really a lost gem. Anyone else knows it?

| Very true that this should have been / should be huge. Top american quality-aor, and as others have already written with an undeniable nostalgic 80s-feel. There may be a few fillers on the album, but the stand-out tracks (Suspicious heart (a true classic), Never enough night (impressive ballad), Desperate hours) are so emblematic that the album remains a must-have!

| excellent release for VAN STEPHENSON back in 86 with his songwriting ability being the mane attraction ,as the melodic lines are the finest!his voice is also very appropriate and he reminds me of BRYAN ADAMS s!all the songs are great and especially "never enough night","(we should be)together tonight" and "desperate hours"!brilliant
