"Wildly underrated on this site. He is the modern Canadian equivalent of Woody Guthrie or Pete Seeger lyrically - but he is a musical genius and one of the world's greatest guitarists to boot. I can only say that the ratings for him reflect more on the ignorance of Canadian music of the people usi..." [+] Reply
"Possibly the most bizarre album cover ever. Nonetheless, the songs and arrangements are beautiful; when they cover a song they really make it their own." Reply
"This album is underrated. It's crime being that it's sandwiched between Priest's two best albums: British Steel and Screaming For Vengeance. 'Solar Angels', 'Desert Plains', 'Heading Out To The Highway' are all strong songs. Halford's vocals are very entertaining on songs like 'Don't Go' and 'You..." [+] Reply

"Although this did not have the immediate impact on me that KOTWF did at the time, I listened to it for longer then. I also find this easier to listen to now. So, taking that into account, and the fact it contains the classic Stand & Deliver I rate this higher (but neither as high as Dirk)... Saw ..." [+] Reply
