Powerful arena rock with an 80s vibe
A solo album by former Babys vocalist John Waite, this album showcases a clear arena rock sound that captured the trends of the mid-80s.
This album is characterized by drum sounds heavily laden with gated reverb and edgy guitar riffs. Waits' vocals, while husky, extend powerfully into the high register, delivering dramatic melodies. Synthesizers add depth and color to the songs, creating a sound that is conscious of the stadium-sized space. Songs with catchy hooks, such as "Every Step of the Way," have helped to support his solo career.
