"After Cut in 1982 Golden Earring went into a down slide.NEWS,
Live Twilight Zone were rather weak and Hole were very a different GE album all together and they rebounded with an album more like GE of old.It was a welcome return for me,but I do
not think many fans noticed.Fortunately for me I did ,and fortunately GE carried on to make more great albums in the future."

Underrated

"This 1988 release is mostly a good album, but it does have some embarrasments, and as everyone knows, GE knows how to make great songs, but they can never keep them coming at a good rate. Their albums almost always contain some duds (with the exception of the awesome Bloody Buccaneers, the US version of Moontan, Cut, and Something Heavy Going Down, which are all pretty consistant). Nighthawks, Keeper Of The Flame, and Can Do That are the duds here. Turn The World Around, Circles, Too Much Woman, Say My Prayer, My Killer My Shadow, and One Word are the better half and most-listen GE songs in my opinion. This album gets a bad rap when it's actually quite good. I know some of my favorite GE songs lie here. Don't be afraid to try it out. I really like the sound of George Kooyman's electric guitar on this album."
