Their 2nd album, released on 21st October 1985.
Originally the album plan was for an album that would be called "Absolute Reality" to follow on from "Declaration (opens in a new tab)" in early 1985.
Another working title for the album was "Steeltown" but when the band found out that the forthcoming Big Country was to be named this, the idea was dropped.
The album produced three singles:
- Strength (opens in a new tab) (9th September 1985)
- Spirit of '76 (opens in a new tab) (January 1986)
- Knife Edge (opens in a new tab) (14th April 1986)
