This, the third album from Sweden's rock/metal band, originally came out in 1982 and thanks to Retroactive Record's remastering now sounds even more powerful than it did 36 years ago. The English language version of the set made an impact across Europe and into America and it's easy to hear why. The riff-heavy "Constantly Changing" is a great opener while the twin lead guitars on "Man Of The World" interplaying with some soaring synth lines is equally good. "It's mad" almost has a new wave feel while the 12-minute prog rock "Sodom" is up there with the very best Spock's Beard. If you've yet to discover this gem, go buy a download.
