Rage were born out of what was the Liverpool band, Nutz. This album was actually released in ’83 and was (I think) their second release under this incarnation of the band. They were another band tagged with the NWOBHM label, even though the band’s sound is a lot more radio friendly melodic rock.
It is a very competent release, but again they are missing that spark and a really killer track to make it memorable. The best track is the opening track to Side 2, Long Way From Home. It’s a nice up tempo pop/rocker with a nice beat and groove, and quite a catchy hook and chorus.
One more album after this and they were done, I guess they just didn’t have the songs.
6.5/10 from The Grooveman.
