The album is also the first to feature new lead singer John Schlitt, former lead singer of Head East, and the last to feature a guitar-shaped space ship on its cover.
While the sound of the album is rather transitional and unlike anything that would be heard by the group for another seven years, it did mark a movement toward the style that would become Petra's most identifiable sound: prominent keyboards backing up hard-edged guitar tones and raspy, near-screaming vocals.

gollark: There is no escape. PotatOS is inevitable.
gollark: It can spread to other machines too. Possibly.
gollark: The server I currently run has mods distributed via a custom node.js installer (to avoid bundling the jars directly, which is probably against most of the licenses), but that's kind of annoying to use.
gollark: And I actually made a drone delivery system before, which ought to still work... the one problem is that it needs a waypoint at the destination.
gollark: I'll look into trimming down the Generic Modpack list and figuring out a good way to distribute a pack.
