Good Old Fashioned 80s Rock

"Triumph is truly a one of a kind band. With the unmistakeable vocals of Rik Emmett, the lyrics of society ring loud. In my opinion one of the largest reasons why I am a huge fan of Triumph (other than the fact that they're probably the second best act out of Canada -- Rush being the first) is that they tackle some of the more important items society has to deal with in their songs (unlike the lyrics of other 80's Glam Rock bands such as Winger, Warrant, Poison and countless others). This album would be the last of the original line-up after Emett had some differences of opinion when it came to the business side of Triumph. Listening to the overall instrumentation of this album, the sound is superior to that of some of the other albums that came out around the same time (Europe's Final Countdown, Winger's self-titled debut, and even Whitesnake's first album). In my opinion any one who loves the lyrics and vocals of Rush should also check out anything by Triumph (especially Survelliance)."

Good rocking

"this is a good cd by a band that is overlooked and underrated a good cd that has a lot of music that you don,t hear on the radio"

Solid and competent as everything TRIUMPH does, but..

"This album has definitely a pop metal production, but this is not bad, TRIUMPH seldom sounded so tight and focused in their production. The annoying factor is Gil Moore's reverbed drums.



The songs by themselves are very good, keeping the tradition of great songs by this unlucky band who had the misfortune of having existed in the same spam of years as RUSH."
