| Again, the ballads and the rockers make this a great release. In my opinion, their best. Every song was my favorite.

| This is my fav Idle Cure album. It contains my fav song, 'Pray', along with other killer rockers. I think I owe this album my musical inclination.

| THIS IS IT! Without question, this Idle Cure release is one of the top 10 in Christian music history. From hard-rocking "Pray" to power ballad "Contend for the Faith," the guys really got it all right on this album. A must for anyone who likes Christian rock and that great sound of the 80s and early 90s.

| The singer sounds almost identical to Paul Stanley and the music is that of early 80's KISS. Great Album. Also pick up the greatest hits package Breakaway, the title song is better than the songs on this album

| The reason I looked this cd up in this forum is because it is one of my faves of all time & easily I.C.'c best. Love the up front guitar & Shannon's voice (yeah, Paul Stanley-ish, but also think Bon Scott from early AC/DC-esp. on "It's No Fun..."), but the highlight has to be the incredible, in you face "vocal rock harmonies" ala Def Leppard (esp. "Talk It Out") - like nobody else has done or can do. Like the way they transition hard to ballads with mid-tempo songs. MUST HAVE!

Good Hard/AOR album, no tan bueno como sus 2 anteriores(bueno esos por ser AOR jeje) trabajos ya que en este exporan mas el Hard Rock pero con buen gusto, de hecho es un buen album en cortes me quedo con  Picture of Love, Don't Turn Away, Contend for the Faith (los cortes AOR del album los que mas me van) el resto mas Hard Rock pero muy buenos If You Mean It(un tremendo corte de Hard y AOR) Pray es otro ganador otro buen disco que puede formar parte de tu coleccion de hecho.

| Tremendo el tema "contend for the faith" pero la mayoría de temas van en una onda hardrock comercial que te llegara a gustar en temas como "don´t turn away" e "if you mean it" por sus buenísimos coros y guitarras pero el resto no da la talla IMO. Asi como la quinta cancion están "ordinary man" y esa bella "picture of love". Buen disco 8.3/10

| These heavenly headbangers never made a bad album and their string of successes continues unabated with this third outing, once again (mostly) eschewing the AOR-flavored approach of the debut in favor of a guitar-driven 80s hard rock sound liberally laced with gigantic backing/harmony vocals (check out the "Whoa! Whoa!"s on the opening track, "Pray"). It won't take you a 2nd spin to fall in love with this CD...just one listen will do the trick.

Fantastic CCM band and album...some people above said it's their best one and well it has all the ingredients to be  ...rocking tracks with a commercial beat and obviously with some songs leading towards the AOR sound...favourite shots o' mine are "Picture Of Love","Contend For The Faith"(killer ballad)& "Don't Turn Away"...but there are these rocking tracks that hook you up such as "Pray","Human Solution" & "Talk It Out"...highly recommended...96/100

| very good release once again for IDLE CURE offering some commercial hard rock tunes with those Christian lyrics being sometimes too much ,but you cant deny their songwriting and performing ability with songs like "talk it out",'pray","it s no fun anymore" and "contend for the faith"!all IDLE CURE s releases are fine

| Probably the most consistent Idle Cure album that also has the most rockers. Pray, It's No Fun Anymore, Talk It Out, Don't Turn Away, If You Mean It and Dead Or Alive are all great tracks. I can do without the ballads tbh and I tend to skip them, but those rocking tracks with the gang vocals on the choruses are top quality. They sound a bit like Drive, She Said at their most rocking, or a less produced Def Leppard... maybe. Shannon has a great rock voice. For lovers of a harder edged AOR. 86/100. Best track is Don't Turn Away.
