VISION - Runaway Very slick, well-produced mainstream Metal/HR with subtle keys that will probably only appeal to more "adventurous" aor fans.
EMERALD - Traitor Yes, it's the "Armed For Battle" MLP guys. Solid US Metal very similar to the likes of Glacier, Gargoyle etc...
RECON - Light The Fire High falsetto-vox a la Geoff Tate upon run-of-the-mill melodic US Metal. Later featured on at least two CD reissues of their LP.
SOLDIER - Borderline More well-produced & well-performed yet utterly bland melodic Hard Rock.
JUDEA - Heart Of Stone Pretty decent, vocal-based, slow Metal-light. It just sounds so ridiculously Xian...
Tracklist side B:
MASTEDON - Get Up Horribly commercial & mellow Metalrock, though with half-decent, 80's Kiss-style riffing.
RANSOM - Sin Killer Sounds like a female vocalist, and the music is not too far off from Hellion-territory. Goodish.
EMERALD - Born To Die Heavy hard rock riffs unlightening up the atmosphere of this lame-ass album.
JUDEA - Knock Keyboard-oriented "hard" rock a la Survivor.
SOLDIER - Tears Mellow rock/aor filth.
RECON - Dreams [CD bonus track] Wimpy HR like Queensryche buttraped by Dokken. Later featured on at least two CD reissues of their LP.
