I heard one song off of this in the 80's on the radio which was voyager. I decided to buy it and found the rest of the album was good, too. Best songs on it are Voyager, Skin and bone, Mayday, and Meanstreak although all are good. Mayday and voyager should have been on the best of Gamma cd but aren't on it. This cd kind of goes back to the first Montorse cd, crunchy riffs, guitar heroics but is a little different. Davy Pattison is somewhat similar to paul rodgers in voice quality but I don't think like I have read another review of this cd that he sounds or it that much like 70's Bad Company. I think it has it's own style to it, however. If you like the first Montorse cd you will like this cd.

This is an excellent cd from montrose. It is the heaviest and best of the first 3 Gamma cd's hard rockers like meanstreak, mayday, cat on a leash, and four horseman make this an excellent buy.

I've always loved this recording,I know I'm not the first to say it, but there really isn't a bad tune on it. Although I'm not generally fond of covers, 'Something in the air's' a great tune all on its own, of course, Montrose adds his "signature" to it. All in all, I think it's a pretty decent cover of a tune I already liked. Usually that's hard for me to do, like a cover of something I already liked lol, usually it's one or the other. The first tune I heard from this album, and still my favorite, was Voyager, for that smoking guitar solo, at 43, I still find myself fighting the urge to pick up the air guitar hahahaha.
Takes me right on back to high school graduation year, man if I only knew just how easy those days were.
