hot, but still retaining a melodic feel with choruses that are
memorably magnificent. A phenomenal effort! This album rates
not only as hard rock's finest work, but as one of the
greatest albums in rock history.

The guitar intro in the first song, "Sahara" was
played by Chris Impellitteri and sounds more like Chris is
warming up for an explosion. The title cut has that
familiar Lanny Cordola and Ken Mary sounds. This album
is definitely worth checking out even in the absence of Lanny
Cordola.
