I am glad Talisman has released a new CD that is again in the melodic rockstyle of their first couple of albums. There are 13 tracks on the album and Jeff Scott Soto is the shining star again with his superb vocals. Although the start is a bit average, there are some brilliant tracks on the CD. For example, "Here 2day, gone 2day" is a great uptempo melodic rocker in the typical Talisman style. "I'll be there 4 U" is in the same style and is pure 80s based. Also "Angel/devil" has that feeling.

The best track to me is "Heaven's got another hero" which is a fantastic midtempo pure AOR song, quite different than the rest of the material. The CD also captures a nice cover of a Madonna track "Frozen". There aren't many weak songs on the CD. The only songs that should have been left off the CD are "Darling Nikki" (pure alternative 90s modern pop/rock) and the weird track "Your man" (this is 70s based and sounds damn much like Hall and Oates). Despite these two songs, this is a good quality melodic rockalbum and shows Talisman returning to the style that made them popular.
