My own opinion of this album.
The sound quality of this album is very good, the best after Fire & Ice and Facing The Animal.
Over all a great album with a good variety of songs, including guitar play and arrangements.
The songs on this album are quite even with Vengeance as the one that stands out, which is a superb neo-classic heavy metal song that has the typical Yngwie sound and style of aggressive pumping rhythm guitar coupled with fast clear classic scales on the lead solos.
Other good songs includes Voodoo and Fire In The Sky.
