Review: Without a second thought, Triumph'sAllied Forcesis definitely one of the quintessential rock albums of the 1980s. Beginning with the hard rocking "Fool for Your Love" and ending off with the lighter, more carefree "Say Goodbye," this record keeps the hits coming one after the other. Not only was this a change for Triumph's sound, it also sported smash songs like "Magic Power" and "Fight the Good Fight." Even the more over looked "Ordinary Man" displays some amazing song writing and vocal talent.

Review: A milestone for rock fans, yet a kind of hidden jewel over here in Germany. High vocals to make you shiver, beautiful sparkling acoustic guitars, slicing sharp electric guitars, stomach-felt bass lines and great, skilful, high-energy drumming - maybe the best combination of skill, melodic beauty, power and sound I managed to hear up to now - and this is stated by a true Rush fan. Anyway, this is all so far away from now, being one of the first rock albums I ever listened to back in wonderful 1981, at the age of 16. Still the music rocks today without any loss of energy or freshness.
