...Heep's comeback album and one of the best metal albums of the 80's.The album is really good ,but I can’t compare it with Uriah Heep “classic” albums. It is interesting heavy metal ,with melody and great lyric,but it is not ‘Uriah Heep’.So there one can find a couple of great Heavy metal songs and no more.The best songs are: “Too scared to run”-great opener and famous song.”On the rebound”-really interesting thing. ”Chasing Shadows”-Ilike this song very much. Famous MTV hit and “Think it over” ,But I think that the single version of that song ,with Sloman vocal is even better.... Read review

...Some people said that this album is “Abominog” part two ,but as for me it is even better. And on that album you can find more of Uriah Heep tradition sound. And,compare with “Abominog", John’s keyboards sound is more better ,powerful and pomp . So , as for me it is the best Uriah Heep album in the 80-es.The best songs are: sympathetic funky rocker” Stay on top” ,two melody songs “Lonely nights” and “Love is blind”, great instrumental “Roll-overture” that segues into the next beautiful song-energetic “Red Lights” .And “Rollin’ the rock”-“Straight thru the heart” are also great Heavy metal songs....
