5.0 out of 5 stars Beyond words!, September 1, 1999

By A Customer

One of the best albums in their catalogue. Beyond Salvation went straight to #1 on the charts when it was released in 1990, and spawned 5 hit singles, among them "Let The Night Roll On", "Backstreet Pick Up" and the now-classic "Dogs Are Talking". I highly recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is classic rock at its best!, August 9, 1999

This is Angel City about 9 years after "Face to Face" and their sound has matured, even if the lyrics have gone a little backwards. Still, if you like hard edged rock, this is a must from one of Australia's best ever.

This review is from: Beyond Salvation (Audio CD)

When the discussion turns to the marketing strategies of record companies, one can always count on The Angels being mentioned when the talk turns to the strange end of the spectrum. The US version of this album was labeled as "The Angels From Angel City" and contained an oddly different track lineup, much the same as the US only "Face To Face" a decade before. Instead of just issuing the album in the states and letting it stand on it's own merits, both albums were loaded with both new and old material, making them an instant pseudo-greatest-hits collection. Very strange, especially considering the ease with which "Beyond Salvation" and "Face To Face" could have stood on their own. Whatever the case, Let The Night Roll On stands as one of the band's shining moments and should have been a huge AOR staple. Unfortunately the US was busy being infatuated with M.C. Hammer at this time and couldn't be bothered. Tough luck, America.
