"Over The Edge is the amazing comeback album for Mickey Thomas, great vocalist of Starship(with or without Jefferson)and Stephen Bishop band. Guest musicians alone will be of much interest such as Jack Blades, Jonathan Cain, Steve Lukather and Neal Schon. ONE WORLD the first single is well-structured ballad. THIEF, TURN AWAY show catchy side of the album reminding me of LOVE AMONG CANNIBALS era Starship. SURRENDER is a nice rock anthem penned together by the Neal Schon of Journey and Jack Blades of Night Ranger. They made amazing rock anthem I GOT A REASON in Journey's Arrival. They did it again with the strong vocal of Mickey. FOREST FROM THE TREES is a intriguing funky rock song from Aussie new wave band TAXIRIDE's second album GARAGE MAHAL. EYES WIDE OPEN by Jonathan Cain who made OPEN ARMS is in a way another side of OPEN ARMS. Very deeply themed and touching. Although high-toned vocal is not yet fully returned and it is different from Starship, this album is enjoyable to 80's rock fans."
