"Basically a re-release of the, remasters, album from 1990, with an almost identical track list, repackaged with new cover artwork. You can't argue about the quality of songs though.

"Opening song is outstanding, next few are pretty good and then it gets progressively worse from there. Still not a bad pop rock album by any means." Reply
