This is my very first time to ever hear a hard rock/heavy metal band from Portugal and perhaps to many other people as well, so it's an exciting experience to see how well Iberia goes considering they're seasoned veterans that has started their career back in the 80s. First impression, my ears totally were glued to the guitarworks, some nice songs too, but I'll admit there are few poor tracks that should have been left out.

I'll start with the goodies. 'Revolution', is a brilliant opener, after the 'Code Red' intro, the rhythm blasted high into an uptempo monstrous track, the verse and chorus is perfect, and the solos are perfectly done, awesome tune. 'All Night Flying' has great riffs and 'Angel' is easy on the ears, very uplifting and joyous. 'N.I.T.R.O' is pure heavy metal beast, check out the drums, and of course the riffs, this is probably the second best tune here. 'Hollywood' is a homage to the L.A.Scene, this track is definitely has Poison style all over it, simply stunning.

On the low side, 'Stooge' and 'She Devil' are average; 'Turning Back' has some potentials, the riffs are great but too bad the chorus is weak; and 'Dizzy' and 'Tired' are clearly the bad news, without these tracks, the album could have been better. Nevertheless, Iberia didn't blow any high roofs to the sky, but the 80s style is a pleaser to old-school fans. A mix of hard rock, glam, and heavy metal, and that's what you get outta 'Revolution'. Good disc!
