This was indeed a very good listen back in the day and the newly remastered one is true to form. The songs and sound are all top notch. Tunes like American Girls, Lay It On The line and Just A game are highlights on this great offering, ah hell they all sound good!!
Triumph was on a roll with their first 3 releases and up here in Canada, they were giving Rush (another fantastic Canadian band) a run for their money back then. Triumph has long since passed on since from their heydays in the late 70's early 80's. Rush continues to rock as strong as ever and hopefully will for some time to come. The beginning of the end for Triumph was in the mid 80's when record sales dipped as their quality dropped. After a few sub par 80's releases, Rik Emmett decided to go the solo route and has seen some success, but nothing like he did when Triumph was riding high.
Triumph had their day and this cd represents what they had to offer back then. All in all a great rock & roll album and a must have for any true classic rock fan.

not my favorite triumph album, but 4 or 5 really great songs, love the guitar work.I think it was their last great album, still love their 1st album best, (24 hours a day) but buy far this is a great album to listen to.

By Pappa Bear
Format:Audio CD
This album is a lost late 1970's gem. It shows the range and versatility of all three members of the band. It's worth the price of admission, so to speak, just for "Hold On" and "Lay It On The Line". However, this album is much deeper than those two classic rock diamonds. "Just A Game" and "Suitcase Blues" should be standard fare on any legitimate 70's rock collections as well. Sadly, Rick, Gil, and Mike were overshadowed by Geddy, Neal, and Alex. Who would have thought Canada wasn't big enough for two amazing power trios?
