A sophisticated release by Winger that completely combined the pop-metal element of their classic era, the dark and gloomy mood of Pull, and the mechanical contemporary stuff of IV. This is their heaviest album to date, contained a lot of astounding riffs and pompous rhythm which were shown in "Deal With The Devil" and "Stone Cold Killer", yet still they cleverly delivered a heartfelt bluesy ballad in "After All This Time".
I enthroned this album as their masterpiece and their greatest work ever! For casual fans, if you want to hear how Kip's voice roaring powerfully high and Reb's solo skillfully layered him melodically, this one is a sure pick, one of the best release of 2009.
