This is his strongest CD since TOTAL CONTROL...His guitar work is excellent and John handles all of the vocals this time. His vocal work is very good..

He has a new rhythm section and they are very tight unit..

John Norum fans will be very happy with this CD.

That's right - have a look at the tracks on his albums and you'll see a number of covers of Thin Lizzy tracks. However this album lacks anything as live and kicking as Phil Lynott. No sense of danger, no sense of anything.

Which is a pity as I was expecting another awesome release real soon from this guy. And when the opening guitar barrage came out of my speakers that is what I thought I was going to get. But it all turns around and heads back down the same alley as his previous studio release, Worlds Away. Poor production, meaningless lyrics and no sense of purpose. Like he was just doing this to meet a contract or something.

Never mind, his next album, Optimus, was a great return to form.

Ok guys, this is the last John's album and it could be the best! John plays the guitar with terrific new sounds and he sings too. Special guest on the album: his wife Michelle Meldrum (ex Phantom Blue), Mats Olausson (Yngwie Malmsteen's keyboard player) and Mats Leven (ex-Yngwie'e singer). You have to buy this album!

JOHN NORUM CONTINUES TO MAKE GREAT ALBUM AFTER GREAT ALBUM. THE SONGS ARE HEAVY,CRISP, AND COOL. THIS IS JOHN'S BEST ALBUM SINCE TOTAL CONTROL. IT IS A SHAME THAT WE HAVE TO HEAR THE [stuff] THAT GETS AIR PLAY TODAY INSTEAD OF A GREAT TALENT LIKE MR JOHN NORUM.
