    This is a really good album by Saxon and sounds great. The production is nice and whole album sounds fresh and crisp. Here we have classic and beautiful rock sound of 80's and I love it.

      "The original idea (for the cover design) was a young kid with two bullet belts and holding an AK-47 machine gun" -Steve Dawson/SAXON (taken from The EMI Years 1985-1988 boxset booklet).

        Great album-mood! The spirit of the 80's.. Very powerful and pleasant sound with elastic bass, balanced middle and clear highs. Sound quality 10/10... When you listen it, you want to make it louder.

          any reissue from 2009 onwards contains as a bonus a version of "back on the streets" entitled "club mix". actually the song present on cd is the "extended version" not the "club mix". the original club mix still unreleased on cd.

            Wish I had given this album a chance when it came out. Biff Byford's ancient heavy metal attribute mixed with the polished 80's resulting in perhaps the best album Saxon ever acomplished. A good thing here is that the album cover is spared from the usual knightly nonsense. Can we wish for a "Innocence Is No Excuse" 30 year anniversary tour in 2015?
