knetzke11: Charybdis:Well, there are some redeeming songs on that album. I think Progressions of Power let me down a bit more than Surveillance...but it's nice that Gil can say that. Hey, not every song is a #1 hit!!! But it's Triumph, so I still love their crappy stuff over anyone else's good stuff!!! :)I'm a fan of Progressions, but I know I read somewhere that Mike said he hated "I Can Survive" but loved some of the other songs from PoP like Woman In Love and Nature's Child. I still can't figure out how PoP was such a let down...the whole "Gil taking over" arguement doesn't make all that much sense, it basically was a shift of Gil singing a song that Rik would on other albums...changing it from Rik doing 5 of 9 to Gil doing 5 of 9...PoP has some of Rik's best guitar work

I have fallen back in love with Progressions of Power the past few months. Hadn't really listened to it in years because I no longer have a turntable, but I got a second-hand cassette. TI had forgotten how much that album frigging smokes.
