Another nice moody instrumental intro. Blaze sounds terrible in the soft part, with a very inconsistent, half-asleep delivery. He wavers all over the map while trying to hold the notes on "nightmare", "ends", "dream", and "men". At some points it's so awful that you can almost hear the frog crawling around in his throat.

More terrible whoah-oh-ohs (he should just stop doing these) give way to a halfway decent verse on top of a catchy march. Blaze's vocals are still inconsistent here, but nowhere near as bad as the intro. The chorus is bland, but OK.

The "yeah" going into the soft interlude seems really out of place. The brief instrumental leads into a forgettable initial solo and a much better second solo.

More awful whoah-oh-ohs and the song is finally put out of its misery without a circular ending.

Definitely a contender for the worst song on the album. If it didn't have some redeeming instrumental parts I would have gone even lower with my rating. 3/10.
 
I love the lyrics of this song, even if they weren't that well performed. In any case the instrumental parts make it easier to get through the whole song. I don't mind the whoa-oh-ohs until they start getting repeated towards the end. 6/10
 
A nice quiet beginning opens the song. Blaze makes a blunder in the first line, but I can overlook it. It builds up into a "whoa-oh-oh!" section which I personally like a lot. The verses are thrown together and the lyrics aren't the best, but I like the song anyway. It's the weakest on the album, but like "Man on the Edge" integral to the complete make-up. 7
 
LFTT has one of the most amazing intros that I've ever heard. The quiet beginning is very good too. Good verses/pre-chorus and the ''oh-oh'' chorus fits the song. Great ''celtic'' twin guitar harmony. After the fitting solos the song ends with repeating the chorus, which serves as a rather nice outro. 6/10

The lyrics of this song deal with its civil war
against his fears and traumatic experiences as well as
determination and combativeness needed to overcome them and
do not allow them to be an obstacle to its development.
 
I adore this track. The lyrics are some Steves most personal and Blaze really seems to get stuck into them. It really feels like wer're peering into Steves mindset during a very difficult period in his life. The intro is one of their most beautiful and then despite its gloomy start the mains ong kicks in and it ends up lolloping along like a slightly depressed dog.

My only fault is that after the final round of 'Ohhh oh ohhh's' I feel like the track would have sustained another verse and another lot of 'ohhoh's' and you've got a bouncy, sad crowd participation classic.
 
I won't spend too much time on this. It's my least favorite song on the album. The intro with the bass lead is neat, Blaze's vocals are all over the place though. Once the quiet part is over the song suffers a lot. I hate the "oooh" part and it gets repeated far too often for my liking.
The verses are actually kinda cool, always liked the "and I scream attack!" part. The chorus is okay, but the fact that the "oooh" part is always around the corner drags the song down again.

The instrumental section, unfortunately, isn't anything too exciting either. It builds on the same ideas heard before. We change it up a bit in the lead up to the solos, which are pretty generic as well. Dave delivers a few messy harmonized scale runs, but other than that the solos are unremarkable. We don't even get another chorus, we go straight into another "oooh" part. At least we don't reprise the intro, I guess.

The song isn't as bad as my least favorite Bruce songs, but it's still an instant skip for me. I'll give it a 4.
