Wow--I'd forgotten how great this album is!! Just ordered & got the remaster and this one-off with Steve Vai at the writing helm along with Bonnett on most tracks -- one helluva listen!! You can always expect the un-expected from Vai,and his involvement on 'Disturbing The Peace' was VERY noteworthy. I still remember listening to this on vinyl when it came out in '85,and my jaw just dropped as I heard these tunes! I'm not a huge fan of Bonnett's vocals normally,but here he seems to jell perfectly along with Vai's guitar histrionics.An overlooked gem,for sure. If you like highly inventive hard rock,this one's a must! Get it! T

Lost amidst a glut of 80's hard rock, this was actually a pretty good album. It has some of Graham Bonnet's best singing, and Steve Vai's unique guitar work takes the heavy metal genre closer to progressive rock. It surprises me that several reviewers feel that Vai lacks emotion in his playing. When I hear the soaring lead lines, I hear more emotion than in most other heavy rockers. Vai rarely plays with fixed finger patterns or within commonly-used blues scales. Rather, he seems to have a direct thought-to-fingers connection that leads to some beautiful work. All that said, Bonnet's best songwriting has often been tied to simpler riffs. There are some moments here where it sounds like he's trying hard to find a melody that works with the instrumentation. Alcatrazz with Yngwie might have been a better long-term fit had Yngwie been able to check his ego at the door and work within a group format.

I think every hard-rock fan should own this CD! With such selesctions as "God Blessed Video", and "Breaking the Heart of the City", it is a true classic! Plus, this recording features guitar wizard Steve Vai.
