This a very interesting find from the U.S. with a fairly unique sound. Imagine classic US power metal waltzing with hair/glam metal and you'd end up with a sound close to this. Fairly comparable to Banshee's "Race Against Time", although Ray Gunn have more of a David Wayne bite in the vocals and a raw production, and despite all the songs being short, sweet affairs, the songwriting is impressive and vocals quite brilliant, expertly juggling a melodic glam style with a punchy epic wail.

Songs to write home about include the breathtaking "I Am Yours (You Are Mine)", "Don't You Dare", the killer ballad "Heart and Soul" and the speedy "Critical Miscalculation". Just another gorgeous classic metal release that will leave you starry eyed and sore necked. It's pretty hard to find when trying to buy it but it was released on a CD called "Forgotten Metal: Outstanding Metal Gems" in 2006 which is easier to locate and that Disc also includes 2 other albums from cult acts so worth tracking that down.
