While I'm a fan of some of the earlier TNT albums, I feel a bit conflicted about this one. There's no doubt that the musicianship is top notch and production is quite grandiose and almost Queen-like here on INTUITION. I also love Ronnie Le Tekro's guitar work throughout. However, Tony Harnell's histrionic vocal style has always been tough for me to embrace. I won't fault his ability as his range is often staggering, but more a question of his tone and delivery. Overall, I do applaud their ambition here and think fans of this brand of neo-classical hair metal will be impressed.
