after a tremendous success of Love at First Sting, couple next years were not the easiest for German supergroup - in order to maintain their spot at the top of competition, they kept working hand in hand with hi-end producers until finally finishing nine new songs that ended up on this catchy, well constructed and highly memorable album [1988] that some critics were quick to name as too polished, American market and chorus-oriented, but that is a reflection of an era, and while being hook-laden, such timeless numbers as Passion Rules The Game, Don't Stop at The Top or Every Minute Every Day ultimately stick to mind as a glue, with Rhythm of Love taking over the competition; European re-issue comes with twelve page booklet, updated with liner notes and extra images
