‘Indiscreet’, set the scene perfectly. This was a
British band with their eyes set firmly on the American market,
playing music equal to, if not superior, than masters of the craft
such as Foreigner, Journey and Survivor. That they had not earned a
significant sales foothold was shocking but it only fuelled their
resolve to come back out swinging with their sophomore album, the
stoically titled, ‘Tough It Out’.

‘Indiscreet’, set the scene perfectly. This was a
British band with their eyes set firmly on the American market,
playing music equal to, if not superior, than masters of the craft
such as Foreigner, Journey and Survivor. That they had not earned a
significant sales foothold was shocking but it only fuelled their
resolve to come back out swinging with their sophomore album, the
stoically titled, ‘Tough It Out’.
This time around they were taking no chances. Arming themselves
with new management (REO Speedwagon’s representative) and a
real producer in Neil Kernon (Autograph, Michael Bolton) and
topping off their determination by collaborating with some of the
best songwriters (including Desmond Child) of the day they
constructed an album of serious potential.
Originally issued in 1989, ‘Tough It Out’ takes all the
excitement of their first album and infuses it with top notch
production and an energy that suggested they weren’t going to
take any prisoners. Mixed by Nigel Green (Def Leppard), the album
contains eleven stunning slices of melodic AOR, including such
crowd pleasers as ‘Don’t Stop’, ‘Bad
Luck’ and ‘Burning My Heart Down’. As always,
Steve Overland must be credited for his superlative performance —
outstanding vocals that turn quality songs into exploding
supernovas of melody and sophistication. The end result is truly,
one of the greatest AOR albums of all time.
