5.0 out of 5 stars Terribly Underrated!, August 23, 2003
By C. Fogus "sercrow" (Spokane, WA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
this is an OUTSTANDING follow up the Destiny release of 1988 (which was a much better release than critics reported). there are some real classic hard rock gems on this CD. if you are a Saxon fan or are thinking about becoming one, i highly recommend getting this. an excellent, EXCELLENT group of songs. the remastered work is top notch. my highest allocades to the band.

5.0 out of 5 stars SOLID BALL OF ROCK ROCKS!, May 18, 2007
By Thin Timmy "T. C." (New Orleans, La.) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Saxon's ball rock is solid! From the great opening
track this rocks! This album is one of Saxon's most
consistent from this era. I had only heard the title
track but songs like Lights in the Sky, Requiem and
Baptism of Fire sound like the classic Saxon while
Songs like I can't get enough, Crash Dive and my
favorite I'm on Fire written by Nick Carter are
also great songs while giving it a different sound.
The production is also great giving it a melodic
but hard rocking sound. I think this is one of the
best all around albums Saxon has delivered and it's
well worth getting. I can't get enough of it!

4.0 out of 5 stars A forgotten diamond!!, February 27, 2006
By Johan Svahnstrom (Clearwater, FL USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a Saxon album that is often forgotten and will often stay in the shadow of such classics as Strong Arm of the Law, Denim and Leather and Wheels of Steel. Although this release doesen't have the same "metal cult status" as the previous albums mentioned, it is a very strong showing from Biff and the lads.
No one enjoying early Saxon will be dissapointed by this one. Definately a "safe buy".
