| John Schlitt was an improvement from Greg Volz as lead singer. The band also had a more solide sound, though not as hard driven as albums to come.

| Great lyrics, great "hooks", and a top rate singer, John Schlitt formly of Head East. This remains my favorite Petra album, closely followed by "This means war".

| Things could've gone down a very rocky path for Petra when lead singer Greg X. Volz departed and was replaced by ex-Head East vocalist John Schlitt, but instead the band came roaring back with an invigorating hard rock sound that was given a big coat of professional production polish by John & Dino Elefante. Fans who had been clamoring for Volz to come back suddenly paused, listened to the new Schlitt-fronted sound, and exclaimed, "Hey, that's pretty good!" While a long way from metal heaviness, this packs much more bite than previous Petra projects, the guitars melodic but gritty and the drums much beefier and "alive" than the electronic beats of the band's yesteryears. In keeping with their newly-adopted "bigger is better" approach, the size of the hooks, choruses, and backing vocals increased as well. Transitional albums rarely end up this good, but when Petra decided to turn off AOR Avenue and head down Hard Rock Highway, the results were better than anyone could have expected.
