Along with Under Wraps, this album is their best work in the 80s, really good. Its sound remembers the Tull's best works ever, it's more progressive and hard, and less electronic than their previous albums.

Their best work in the 80s. Budapest is really a great song (4,5/5), one of the best in their long career. All the other songs are solid and very interesting.
