With his lovely warm and nervous voice, he is easily one of the best vocalist in AOR. He and co-writer Bruce Turgon penned some mighty good tunes here, these ten tunes mostly pound and growl with intensity. The opening songs are strong and catchy. The title track starts things off with blasts of distorted, chunking power chords with a rip-roaring guitar solo that sets up Gramm’s signature scream. It is followed up by “\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeartache\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e“, a song that places a slapping drumbeat out in front of a very tasteful, but very 1980’s synth. These tracks lay the groundwork for the album’s highlight, “\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMidnight Blue\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e“, the kind of song that I long to hear become mainstream once again. “\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTime\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e” features a thumping verse that leads into a sing-along chorus.
