I was already "on board" the TNT bandwagon when this disc was released in 1989. But I was not prepared for the sonic onslaught which IS "Intuition!" Well-crafted songs and epic production techniques highlight "Guitar God" Ronni Le Tekrø's blistering guitar work and Tony Harnell's angelic, "out of this world" vocals. This disc quickly gets up to speed! It kicks off with a bang and never lets up until the final cadence. What is a shame is that this CD should have been the effort which "broke" this band in America; TNT should have been as big as Bon Jovi after this release. Sadly, Polydor totally dropped the ball on the band. In summary: This is one of the finest examples of Hard Rock/Heavy Metal from the 80s decade, yet nobody seemingly knows about it? Do yourself a favor and add this GEM to your record collection!!!

Intuition may be one of the most overlooked TNT albums (not to mention commercial 80's metal albums). After their breakthrough metal/pop album "Tell No Tales" in '87, they produced this album "Intuition" in '89. I bought the cassette tape a long time ago and was pleasantly pleased with yet another TNT product. This is a fantastic metal album delivering the same great sound of their previous 2 albums, with no shortage of the amazing vocals from one of the best in the biz, leadman Tony Harnell. Complimenting him once again is the phenominal guitar playing of Ronni Le Tekro and bassist Morty Black. Some great tracks on this album include "Intuition", "Forever Shine On", "Take Me Down (Fallen Angel)", and perhaps the hidden gem "Tonight I'm Falling". No filler material here, and that classic TNT sound once again. Bottom line, this is a fantastic follow-up to Tell No Tales, and their last great 80's metal album before TNT progressed to newer and different endeavors. Get this album...

1989's Intuition was the fourth album from (mostly) Norwegian melodic hard rock band TNT, which featured guitar hotshot Ronnie Le Tekro and vocal powerhouse Tony Harnell. With this album the band continued in the more melodic, radio-friendly approach they started with Tell No Tales, dropping much of their earlier metal edge.

Metal or not, Intuition is a pretty terrific album. TNT has always been great at hitting that sweet spot between metal and AOR, and that's where this album is. Their love songs (like "Learn to Love" and "Take Me Down") are just as powerful as their more rocking tracks (like "Caught Between the Tigers" and "Intuition"), and even with the more melodic direction you still get some sweet guitar work from Le Tekro and some crazy high Tony Harnell vocals.

Intuition probably isn't an essential TNT album the way Tell No Tales is, but it is a really good melodic rock record that most of the band's fans should check out. Fans of `80s style melodic rock (and yes, hair metal) should also give it a listen.

TNT is awesome. Amazing vocals and incredible guitar. They're one of my favorite pop/rock bands. If you enjoy great guitar playing and catchy songs; TNT is for you. If your lookign for something heavier and louder, check out Iron Maiden!

This album by TNT is a gathering of all that was great in hard rock before grunge came. This band has great melodies with a excellent guitar player and one of the best (and underrated)singers there is in rock.I encourage anyone who likes hard rock to buy this cd, as you will come to hear that it will become a favorite of yours, and you'll wonder where you were when this came out in '89!!!

Norwegian veteran melodic rocker's third album in 1989 is so enjoyable and it made me a new TNT fan.

The Intro Nation Free shows us their backbone sound. As some of rock connoisseurs know Scandinavian region has full of fine bands with neo-classical twist as shown in metal god Yngswei Malmsteen and Stratovarious. But this time TNT rock American afterward. From TONIGHT I'M FALLING they show us the catchy sound so that they can win American mainstream rock fans mind. END OF THE LINE is a trully thrilling power ballad having both nostalgic mellowness and strong chorus bridge. And the next catchy pop anthem INTUITION will knock us down. From then on the power never fade with intriguing interlude ORDINARY LOVER

(probably the rendition of old song they might have heard during childhood).

Positively recommended for rock fans who want to discover melodic rock world beyond 80s giants' meterials.

TNT is a band that was surely looked over during this period of time. They deserved so much more attention than they got. I love their "Tell No Tales" album, and this album was certainly not a disappointing followup. Tony Harnell has a magically majestic voice along with the backing vocals and the music. Ronnie Le Tekro proves again what a superb guitar player he is. His solos do no wrong, and the band stands out on "Tonight I'm Falling," "End of the Line," and "Wisdom." The backing vocals on this album are patented with originality just like on "Tell No Tales." This was the last great album they made. Recommended.

Before the music scene took a 180 degree turn in 1992, the rock bands before that time actually had some talent. Great vocalists, blistering guitarists, deafening drummers, and some great melody. TNT was a band that had all of these attributes. This album is a must for any of those who like that talented and exciting music of the 80's which is so lacking today. For the alternative/grunge rockers, stay away! Maybe with the release of Def Leppard's Euphoria album, this style of music will become popular again and TNT will once again give us great music!
