"This is an excellent album by a highly under appreciated artist from the 80s. If you are a fan of classic rock, this is a must own album for you."
The Stan Bush Comeback That Fans Have Been Waiting For!

"The quintessential 80s hard rock anthem pioneer is back in fine form with this inspired release that recaptures the spirit of his earlier work! Seriously, this is the Stan Bush album that we've all been waiting for! 'Shine' was a decent album but this is the full-throttle anthem / ballad LP that proves Stan still has 'The Touch'! This guy deserves more credit for his contribution to the classic 80s sound than many 'musical historians' would have you believe."
Excellent, constantly high quality

"This album has everything you'd like about a rock singer without any of the flaws. I encourage you to preview each song. You won't find "baby, x, "baby" lyrics, repetitive choruses, or any slothful song weighing this album down. Each one is solid, and listening to the album, trying to pick out which ones you're going to put on your favorite playlist was impossible, because each is excellent. The two/three slower paced songs are good too, and listening to the lyrics is easy and satisfying. He made a great decision putting both "The Touch" and Transformers theme on there, not just as great songs to hook fanboys, but really out of respect of where he came from, and his fans, who pushed hard to get this song as free DLC for guitar hero. It's a refreshing compromise between those who can't live down their hit songs and those that are living the past.
Finally, track number 11 was really touching for me, and I will frequently listen to it twice when I get to it on the CD. "Southern Rain" is the highlight of this album lyrically, about finding your own place on tough days. Unfortunately, it is also the song with the only flaw I found. Between lines, you can hear him breathe in A LOT to the point of mild distraction, and the fact that this breathing in is loud, and not toned down at all is very glaring. That, however, is the albums' only flaw, and not enough to sway me from proclaiming "Southern Rain" as the highlight of new songs."
This is Awesome!

"Okay, I will admit, I got into Stan Bush because I am a huge G1 Transformers fan. In the original movie, he had two songs in the soundtrack, "Dare" and "The Touch". I got this album because he remade "The Touch". What I discovered is that the whole album is great.
He also added another song called "Til All Are One" which would have been great in the original Transformers soundtrack but was several years too late for that. Now that I am done with that, I will say that whether or not you are a TF fan, this is a great album and a worthwhile purchase.
