4.0 out of 5 stars Heavy but polished, January 29, 2001

Made in FRA in 2000, Serial# 3063662, Playing Time: 47 min.

Originally released in 1986, this is their 2nd album. Hard rock with a very full sound, this album contains some great material. David Glen Eisley's vocals are very similar to Journey's Steve Perry. Same power, same vocal range, but put to music that's somewhat heavier.

Even though their first album contained the fantastic "Call To The Heart", I found "S+S" better overall. This re-mastered edition also contains a bonus track they contributed to the "Gotcha!" soundtrack.

This is one of my favorite albums from 1986; if you like Night Ranger's early albums as well as powerful melodies with rich keyboard and guitar textures, and fantastic vocals, grab this!

3.0 out of 5 stars A Fine piece of 80's melodic metal history!, March 12, 2005

This is much better than the first Giuffria album.With this one they toughened up their guitar sound a bit.This album is a great example of 80's metal.The keyboards sound great,but on certain song it's a bit over done.
1.No escape(9/10)Stars out with a keyboard intro and then bursts into a great rocker!
2.Love You Forever(5/10)Sappy love ballad.Your girlfriend will like it,but you won't!
3.I Must be Dreaming(5/10)More of the same.Another Love ballad.
4.Girl(5/10)More over used keyboards on this one.Dosen't sound bad though.
5.Change of Heart(7/10)This one picks up a bit.A very good song.The guitar sounds good on this track.If you love the 80's,you'll love this one like I do!
6.Radio(8/10)Straight ahead anthem rocker!
7.Heartache(6/10)Another love ballad of this album.Not bad!
8.Lethal Lover(10/10)The guitar talent here is amazing.This song really rocks.You'll love it!
9.Tell it Like It Is(10/10)Another great rock song.Fans of 80's will really enjoy this one.
10.Dirty Secrets(7/10)Not bad,but not the best!
If you want to own a rare 80's gem,then is is a good one.Bottom line if you like ballads and 80's metal you will like this!Don't pay over 19 bucks for it though!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Melodic 80's Rock n Roll, January 9, 2003

I love this cd.It is classic 1980's rock. I first bought this cassette in 1986 and just recently bought this on cd. This was a great strong follow up album to their debut cd Giuffria from 1984. This album is a mix of melodic hard rock and power ballads mixed with excellent synthesizers by Gregg Giuffria and great vocals by Glen David Eisley. I like all songs on this cd,but I especially love TELL IT LIKE IT IS,LETHAL LOVER,NO ESCAPE,GIRL,and ON THE RADIO. These 5 tunes really kick.This cd is a great listening experience.
