I'd have to give 5 stars to this gem of an album. Although his first I didn't buy it till after Crusader. I loved the storyline to it from Hold on to Goodnight. Initially I thought it was good but not as good as say Crusader but now I find after all these years I listen to it the most. Hold On is a song that should have defined Chris's career. Try it out if you haven't done so, it's a special album to play on a dark, Windy Night, excuse the pun
