Neal Schon's furious Guitar and Jan Hammer's fantastic Keys make quite a formidable combination. This album contains yet another of the first batch of songs that really impressed me and made me love Rock, the firestorm assault of No More Lies. You really should hear it. And the rest of the album? Mostly solid.
