Triumph's debut album is a solid hard rocker with a British flavour and Rush garnishes all over around it. Vocals of drummer Gil Moore are phenomenal, basslines from Mike Levine are lively and riffs by Rik Emmett are sharp and appropriate. The band is immensely unpopular despite laying down some great tracks in its first release. The metaphor "don't judge an album by its artwork" is applicable to the fullest. Recommendations: "Blinding Light Show / Moonchild", "Street Fighter", "24 Hours a Day", "Let Me Get Next to You".
