The album cover shows five fairly effeminate looking rockers in their white "angel" outfits. But, don't worry, the glam rock phase won't come until later! These guys are still a helluva band, though not as aerial or pristine as on their awesome debut. There is more punch and crunch in such ballsy hard rockers as "Mirrors" and "Pressure Points". Prog rock and emotional melodies are still there on "The Fortune" and "Feelings" (songs more in the vein of the 1st album). Frank Dimino is a helluva good singer. Punky Meadows is reminiscent of Brian May. Giuffria is busy as ever painting his pictures on piano, clavinet, harpsichord, mellotron and synthesizer. Really, the last ARTISTIC Angel album before the move to a wholesale AOR/"pop metal"/stadium rock format. For me, they were never the same band after 1976. This one is smokin' though, in spite of 1 or 2 duff tracks. If you like the "Angel" album, you'll like this follow up. (by Chris Gerbig)
