I guess you can call this a German supergroup of sorts. Members of Mad Max, Warlock, and Bonfire all came together for this project. It only lasted for two albums initially, of which this was the first released in ’91. If melodic rock/AOR is your thing and you like your music on the softer side, then this could be for you.
With the song Living A Lie you feel as though Bon Jovi was a reference point as the style and execution are so close. However, as usual my tastes veer towards the tunes with a bit of oomph added to the mix and The Girl Is Mine is my favourite on the album. A great uptempo groove and riffage at the intro and chorus, with the slick melodic vibes in the verses, and a ripping instrumental section. Great tune! If this was released five years earlier in the US, I can guarantee that the song Bang Bang would have been huge. A great party rock anthem with a great stomping groove and riff. A perfect Friday night, here comes the weekend tune.
All in all a great album that passed a lot of people by.
8/10 from The Grooveman.
