| Melodic masterpice. One look at the vocals and you know this is quality for fans of ASIA, GTR, BRONZ..

| This is the only CD I own that has a 'director' credit. With a name like W.F. Rimensberger, I envision some rich, (possibly overweight), middle-aged guy who wanted to assemble his 'dream band', scribbled some names on a cocktail napkin and then proceeded to whip out his cheque book. 'Did It All For Love' (featuring John Wetton) is as good as anything he did with Asia. 'Stop', 'Hearts on Fire' and 'Surrender' are musically powerful, but lyrically cliched. The Max Bacon songs are poor man's GTR.

This album really worth because of outstanding,beautiful,unique melodies of the'Did it all for love'song! And also because of the best by far vocals delivered on this effort by Ray'voice of God'Gillen,on some of the best tracks!This,then is one rare audio document of his more than perfect singing!Recorded right after he left Sabbath!Overall straight foward,melodic,sometimes hard-driving,Night Ranger-like tunes!I give it a 70 thanks to Gillen!

| Also a curiosity about this effort is that song I mentioned before'Did it All..'Was used on South America,more properly in Brazil as a soundtrack for a cigarrete(called Hollywood)propaganda!Circa 1987!

| Not as good as it should have been, considering the talent involved. 'Did it All for Love' w/ John Wetton is a must have for ASIA fans, though.

| Sigue teniendo mucha influencia del 1º pero este es mas contundente,pero sin perder un ápice de melodia,como ejemplo sirvan temas tan guapos como Stop!,No Retreat,No Surrender o Hearts On Fire.RECOMENDADO.

| Este disco é simp-lesmente uma das coisas mais agradáveis que eu já ouvi. um time de primeira tinha que fazer um trabalho de primeira... The best track in this album is ' Move You Lose' , Ray Gillen vocals are incredible! Phenomena is a Hard Phenomenon!

| Amazing record! So good tunes on it, smooth vocals, great keyboards and screaming guitars! No Retreat No Surrender is the best!! Only tracks I really don´t like is Jukebox and It Must Be Love. There´s coincidentally Max Bacon on both of these on vocals. He must be related with Kevin Bacon, becouse I don´t notice that guy so high neither.

| Where the heck has all of the rock and roll disappeared to? I think it surfaced on this album with a vengeance to anyone who dislikes volume, melody, and impressive musicianship. With the addition of Max Bacon, John Wetton, Glenn Hughes, and oh yes, the golden voice of Ray Gillen, you cannot go wrong here. Listen to No Retreat, No Surrender very LOUD..I guarantee it will get your blood pumping which is what I was brought to believe great music was intended to do..

| I refer to the comments of koogles (---.proxy.aol.com) Date: July 2, 2002. I got involved in Phenomena after starting MetalHammer magazine in the UK and looking for exciting projects which I could associate my magazine. I secured Phenomena the world-wide recording and publishing deal with BMG, got musicians like John Wetton, Ray Gillan, Glen Hughes, Scott Gorham, Brian May etc involved and spent night after night in the studio guiding the production after working during the day on MetalHammer ma

| Phenomena I and II are brilliant albums. Specifically II! Thereafter this exciting project never brought back anything like it. And I wonder whether it ever will do again? Phenomena II has an exciting mix of people (production, background of musicians), voices (those voices of Wetton, Gillen, Hughes) and is still the showcase for the potential of the project. At that time they must have had some sort of guidance that has been missing ever since. The lyrics have not improved and we are all still

| I like this. I shouldn't comment after only one spin, but it reminded me of some thoughts I was already having on why I tend to prefer what I would loosely call 70's pomp over 80's AOR. This cd sounds great, but didn't really grab me. I think that is because by this era the hooks were often more in anthemic choruses, rather than in guitar or key riffs, instrumentation by the 80's was used more for atmosphere and rythym. Older pomp was more proggy and complex, but often comparitively awkward too.

| From: pompeius |

| to continue the thoughts above,I think ones preference might be somewhat generational. Pomp served as a compromise between me and my girlfriends back then (between Sabbath and Manilow), and was therefore by default the soundtrack for many good times. This is one of it's appeals now, nostalgia. True, it was cheesy at times, bombastic at others, but both sexes could enjoy it. AOR might have served a similar function in the 80's. Just a theory. This is a good, well produced cd, symphonic & smooth.

| DISCO FANTASTICO CLASICO 100%...ESTE PROYECTO FUE CONCEBIDO POR DESTACADOS MUSICOS CON ESTILOS QUE VAN DESDE ROCK SINFONICO AL CLASICO HARDROCK-AOR.TODOS LOS TEMAS BIEN LOGRADOS Y PENSADOS PARA HACERTE PASAR BUENOS MOMENTOS SOLO ESCUCHA ALGUNOS TEMAS COMO "NO RETREAT NO SURRENDER","DID IT ALL FOR LOVE" O "EMOTION MAMA" Y PENSARAS LO MISMO. BRILLANTE. 9.5/10

| Their best made. The album is brilliant from the start to the end. I specially would like to hightlight the songs "stop", "surrender", "no retreat no surrender" and the incredible "move-you lose" in which Badland´s ex-frontman prints magic though all the song. A must. 9.5/10.

| FANTASTIC!!! Uno de los mejores discos del AOR. Los teclados suenan magistrales y las composiciones son IMPECABLES. El reparto de vocalistas es de LUJO y el comienzo es TREPIDANTE, como lo es todo el disco: "Stop" cantada por Ray Gillen es brillante e intensa; "Surrender" cantada por Glenn Hughes es impresionante por su melodía y ni que decir de "Did it All For Love" donde comparten voces el maestro John Wetton y Max Bacon en un tema LEGENDARIO, por esa atmosfera envolvente. DISCO IMPRESCINDIBLE

| HUGE CD 95/100 One of the best true AOR album of the 80's RAY GILLEN & GLENN HUGHES are so good they can sing the phonebook and make something great with it ! but here is not the case as each song it's a jewel ! If you don't have this masterpiece then you don't have a real MELODIC ROCK/HARD ROCK collection buy it now !

| A good follower 2nd disc by this project/band Phenomena...some killer songs in the shape of "Surrender","Hearts Of Fire","Jukebox" & "No Retreat,No Surrender"...in general lines the whole album can be described as pleasant...plenty of talented and experienced musicians in here and that makes you at least want to listen to good music,that's what you get actually ...87/100

| Mi disco favorito de la trilogía inicial, buenas canciones con interpretaciones de primer nivel, todo un clásico de los 80´s, Ray Gillen con esa voz poderosa en "Stop" y " No Retreat No Surrender" mis favoritas, " Move You Lose" otra joya y Glenn Hughes siempre queda bien con esa voz tan especial "Hearts on Fire" y "Surrender", John Wetton con "Did it All for Love" resultó la estrella del disco. Para todo aquel que quiera disfrutar de las grandes producciones de los 80 y de un proyecto de grandes músicos que ahora son tan comunes no así en esos tiempos. Calidad indudable y para disfrutar horas y horas. Gracias al Rock por discos como éste!!
