reception
Rocks wrote that the album was a "surprisingly strong and pop not averse record," there was "little to criticize about the ageless mixture of funk grooves, effective tight hard rock riffs and euphoric melodies". In Give It Love, the team “bursts” with youthful exuberance, The Brave draws a “direct line” to the band's first hit, Ritual, and Eye of the Storm leans “a good deal towards melodic rock.” The “gripping one Rock with heart and mind "still reaches the listener" without detours. "
