From this 60 minutes I can say I only enjoyed "Into A Brave Man's Mind". So most songs are pretty weak here and don't sound much like their previous albums; the band's strength and character is lost. Good comeback? I say nah

For some reason I never did listen to the Scanner albums post Terminal Earth. Luckily I now try to listen though the whole discography of bands and found this pearl. This one has yet again a new singer and he fits really well. The music is a bit thrashier and reminds me a bit of Metallica. The songs are not direct hits as many songs were on the two first albums but after a couple of listens I fancy most of this stuff and this is once again a record that showcases how great shape metal was in the 90's, whatever anyone thinks. If there's anything negative to say about this album is that it's maybe a bit too long but that's about it.

Highlights: Your Infallible Smile, 20th Century Crusade and Out of Nowhere

This album is absolute magic. Per the bands history, Terminal Earth was tough as there was a lot of friction with the singer S.L. Coe, but when he was gone cue Heridon Lee and a bit of happiness give Coe was gone, and that recipe made this absolute magic. My favorite Scanner album for sure. I have no idea how others can comment its not that good......I found it so good, i listened to it straight for 3 weeks, then Scanner's other 3 great albums into the mix on random for another 4 weeks. This album is probably up there with one of my favs of all time!
