Description/Album Notes:

Many consider this to be Triumph's commendable follow up to their mammoth hit Allied Forces. Not an easy task, any artist will tell you that. The songwriting shines on this album, and Rik delivers powerful vocals. The title song well represents this hard rock album, which is also melodic.

Review: To follow up an album like Allied Forces is for sure not an easy task, and Triumph did its best. Unfortunately, Never Surrender just wasn't the same commercial success as Allied Forces and it missed the mark.

The album starts off strong. With the furious rocker "Too Much Thinking" followed by "A World Of Fantasy," things really get rolling. Unfortunately, the second half of the album has a more tedious feel to it, which is hard to swallow.

Also included are several impressive instrumentals that showcase Rik's guitar talent, and Gil's drumming. Although the album did have some good songs, it just didn't seem to fit together as well as Allied Forces did.
