To Each His Own...

Unlike some of the other reviewers down below who expect a band to play the same way they played in 1980, I fully appreciated this CD when I first heard it a few years back. Although I'm a fan of their earlier 80s stuff, I also realize a band has to grow and some of their older fans may not like the direction that a band takes. Fortunately, that's not the case here. Not as far as I'm concerned, anyway. The standout tracks for me are "Home"; "Dust"; "Starcrossed" and the infectious "Run", a track that I have burned onto many hard rock CD-Rs and listen to while cruising down the interstate. It's a track I can't stop listening to.If you're looking for Metallica-like thrash metal, then stay away 'cause it ain't here. If you're looking for melodic hard rock that goes beyond the typical hair metal of the late 80s, then look no further.And as I say to the naysayers, to each his own..."

"This ablum doesn't sound like Lightning to the nation era, Diamond Head.
Why should it? This album was made more than a decade later. It still has
great songs,singing...ex. Like all great ablums . The more you listen to it the better it becomes.It is a shame this era Diamond Head is no more.
This is one of my favorites along with lighting...I own over 5000 CD ,so
that says alot>>>"
