"You're not going to find anything special, this is straight by-the books 80s metal, with the same lyrical topics, same hooks same screeching singer.He just happens to be very good though. A good voice can make reading from the phone book sound like a Grammy-winning song. Gerry McGhee does a great job with the vocals.A much heavier affair than previous albums, this one shows the band ditching keyboards ( and keyboard player) for a leaner meaner sound. Almost all the tracks here contain a good hook and catchy chorus. I can't say much more about the album because yes it's sound does get lost in an 80s metal pit of millions of other sound alike bands, but "Heart of Steel" and "Mr. Mistreater" are worth gettig the album for alone. "Still the One" is a good ballad but can never be expected to be that big a radio hit because McGhee's gruff voice doesn't pull it off entirely. A great (is it actually live in front of a crowd??) version of Eric Clapton's "Cocaine" is here, they do it well. Canadian Music: WORLD CLASS! 10/11"

"Their best effort by far. I love this disc and especially the song "Bulletproof" and "Love In A Bottle". To me it is a must have. I wish this band could have hung around longer as finding bands like this was always a awesome. Too many bands that should have made it but didnt too many to list and this band is one of them."
