what a classic album, was tough to find then the UK reissue came out, get this cd if you haven't heard it, if you have heard it then you probably already have it. great choice!

I really liked the Dennis DeYoung type vocals and the songs are good but somehow it is not among my favorite aor bands. It's very good but there are better bands that cost less in my opinion. No offence.

"Send Down an Angel" is an incredible song. The rest of the album doesn't quite measure up to that gem, but there are plenty of bright moments along the way.

Awful. Like a second-rate Bon Jovi knock-off but even softer still, if you can imagine.

Fantastic release that stands shoulder-to-shoulder with such classics as Lionheart's "Hot Tonight" and Orion the Hunter's lone 1984 effort. Max Bacon's finest hour and an excellent vehicle for his high-reaching vocals. The brillance of "Send Down an Angel" has only been echoed a few times since this release... notably by bands like Shy, TNT, Masquerade and Steelheart. Don't pass through the ass with the Metalmania pressing... go for the cheaper and more recent Sanctuary issue.

Max Bacon is as excellent as ever and 'Send Down An Angel' is definately the best song on show. The cover of 'Don't Ever Wanna Lose Ya' is very weak compared to the original, along with a few of the other tunes. Not my favourite cd of the era and compared to some of the other releases that year (84) ( Autograph, Bon-Jovi, White Sister, Survivor, Toto, Giuffria etc) this was strictly 2nd division stuff.

Of the songs, album opener 'Send Down An Angel' is a nice piece of pomp, with strutting piano lines and keyboard layers a la Grand Prix. This vein is continued with 'The Cold Truth' sounding like very late seventies US AOR. The title track 'Taken By Storm' isn't half bad either, while the New England cover 'Don't Ever Wanna Lose Ya' is no match for the original, but is still a credible attempt nonetheless.

OOOHH,Wow!!!!!!!!! I have been looking for this LP for two years now, This is definitely worth owning! Very well produced and very original sound, there is no mistaking this BRONZ's sound. Has been my favorite band since the early 80's. I am happy to know there is a reissue of TAKEN BY STORM, I've gotta tell my brother about this!!!

I don't know what all the fuss is over this cd. It is quite good and Max Bacon has a great voice, but comparing it to Orion? I dont hear that.

Taken by storm and Stranded are the best tracks off this gem of a record. Any real 80's rock fan won't hesitate to buy this album. A long awaited album from a brilliant, unique rock band. Can't wait to see them back on tour.

I really like the song "Send down an angel", but I don´t really like the other songs. But the vocals of Max Bacon compensate everything, great singer.

Para muchos una pequeña joya de la època, para mì un disco màs. Debo reconocer las buenas intenciones de la banda,intentando salir a flote con una placa apenas correcta, que sin llegar a ser mediocre,no termina de impactar posiblemente porque el mismo grupo es quièn queda a mitad de camino.Send Down an Angel,The Cold Truth,y Night Runner son lo màs destacable y Max Bacon es sin dudas una revelaciòn.Interesante,nada extraordinario.6/10 carro_martin2000@yahoo.com.ar

Wow, no mention of the awesome infectious 'Harder Than Diamond'? Yes Send Down An Angel is the best song. Harder Than Diamon is right behind it. The Cold Truth is great and so is Taken By Storm. Overall the album is a bit uneven, but there are some real gems here. Worth buying now there's a reissue. 6/10

GOOD BRITISH ROCK FOR IT,S YEAR.MAX,S VOCALS SUPERB, AS USUAL.HE SHOULD HAVE SUNG ON ALL THE TRACKS THO. {CANT GET MY HEAD ROUND THAT ONE} WHO SANG ON OTHERS WAS IT WEBBY? {CRAP.} SOUNDED LIKE TWO DIFFERENT BANDS. NO WONDER MAX MOVED ON TO BETTER THINGS. BUT STILL NOT ENOUGH RECOGNITION. TO MANY EGOS USING HIM HEY?? ROCK N ROLL..

Of course, "Send Down An Angel" is marvelous....but there are a few more diamonds on this album. Not the best of the genre but you can't deny the quality of the songwriting and the voice of Max Bacon. I agree with poster Kip, "Harder Than Diamond" are one of the best tracks on the disc/LP, along with "Cold Truth" and "Night Runner".

Mis favoritas son "Stranded" "Harder than Diamond" "Send Down an Angel" y "Heat of the Night" en ese orden pero todo el disco es muy bueno. Max Bacon es de lo mejorcillo en esto del AOR Pomp y sorprende un tema como "Taken By Storm" que es mas Heavy. "Don't Ever Wanna Lose Ya" cover PompAOR de los New England nada mal. 8/10

Definitely one of my fave AOR, melodic rock albums of all time. Every time I give this a spin, it brings back a bunch of good memories. I love Max Bacon's voice. I also am big fan of GTR.

excellent debut for BRONZ back in 84 ,a band that tried to walk in the DEF LEPPARD s path ,but didnt hit the spot!very good production ,fine musicianship and remarkable songwriting ability ,but unfortunately the artwork isnt apropriate and those things mattered to the fans back then!"night runner","the cold truth",'send down an angel"and "sweet lady" are excellent songs indeed!highly recommended for every hard rocker
