A step too far into the realm of cheesy pop-metal. The drum sounds on this album are pretty awful, but pretty much state-of-the art for the synth dominated landscape of 1985. "Say Goodbye" and "Long Way From Home" are almost enjoyable if they weren't so cloyingly executed. "World On Fire" seems promising until the goofy sound effects and overall production ruin it's impact. "Burning Up The Night" is hooky enough to have given this album at least one single, but their cover of Alice Cooper's "School's Out" seems pretty unnecessary. Not completely terrible, but definitely misguided.
