Petra goes out with guitars blazing in an AC/DC inspired riff fest. It's heavy enough to rival their late 80s material. Newsboys' Peter Furler helped bring them back but his influence on this album is overbearing. It's almost a heavy Newsboys album first, a Petra album second. The ingenious, soaring melodies of of their heyday is replaced by Furler's quicky, occasionally goofy ear for melody ("Woulda, Shoulda, Coulda" is song plucked right out of the Newsboys catalogue. Like Revival, this isn't ever looked back on in career retrospectives.
