reception
Michael Lorant wrote for Metal Hammer that he “had to pull himself together not to praise this album too much.” Experience is the right word for Bonnet's vocals, “which once brought Rainbow into the charts”. One of these chart toppers ( All Night Long ) is "also available here in a new version." The remaining nine tracks are reminiscent, apart from the AC / DC passage on We Won't Be Forgotten , often of Bonnet's Alcatrazz . ”After all,“ their keyboardist Jimmy Waldo is also part of Blackthorne. ”In addition,“ I also join the renowned rhythm section with bassist Chuck Wright and drummer Frankie Banali. ”As guitarist and producer, Bob Kulick is responsible for“ probably the heaviest album on the the James Dean fan ever "sang.
