After the great "Fifth Angel" the band starts to see over the horizon for other influences. The sound changes to a bit more hard rock driven sound that still has the signature Fifth Angel sound from the first album left. It doesn't quite make it all the way up to the Fifth Angel album level but still they delivers a really good record filled with "hits".
