Mutt Lange spent years building these tracks with an intense focus on guitar riffs and vocal harmonies. The resulting audio has a synthetic, rigid precision that pushed studio technology to its absolute limit.
Everything here reflects the glossy style of late eighties rock. By merging heavy riffs with a meticulous pop sensibility, the band successfully transitioned into the digital age and solidified their status as global performers.
