I'm a die hard Survivor fan, and this is in my mind their greatest album. This is the last album with original vocalist Dave Bickler (the guy who sang Eye of the Tiger). rAfter this, on Vital Signs (1984), they replaced Bickler with Jimi Jamison (from Target and Cobra, and later the guy who sang the Baywatch theme). Jimi Jamison is an amazing singer but in my mind Bickler has a more raw, rocking voice. rOn to the album! The title track is a fine AOR piece but it's the second song, "Jackie Don't Go", who is the true gem of this album! It is an amazing AOR song with great vocals and synth. We get the beautiful ballad "I never stopped loving you" and the rocking "Slander". Those three songs are the greatest songs of the album but every song is good! If you liked any Survivor song and want to check them out, buy this album!
