Released in 1983, this was the last album to be released before the hugely successful self-titled album "Heart" in 1985. It was also the last album under their contract with Epic. If the production of this one had been slightly better (like their albums from the late eighties), it would definately have become more successful. I don't think this album gained the band many new fans, but the songs are actually not bad. Actually, I find it underrated. Songs like "How can I refuse" (a single the unfortunately failed to crack the top 40), "Language of love" (a slow-rocker) and "Blue guitar" (another slow-rocker) are really good. "Johnny moon" is another song that grew on me after a few listens. That track somewhat reminds me of the chorus in "Seven thunders" from Dokken's debut album "Breaking the chains" (also from 1983...imagine that) and a track from Strangeway's "Any day now". And oh, "Allies" was written by THE Jonathan Cain of Journey!
