3 stars By this, their fourth album, Utopia seemed to be tiring of progressive music. This one time highly progressive band released this album with only one truly prog piece, The Marriage Of Heaven And Hell. This doesn't diminish the rest of the album. there are some very good songs on it, some even come close to prog, just not the soaring compositions of the previous albums.

Trapped, Abandon City and Rape Of The Young all have a bit of progressiveness to them, and all are fine and entertaining songs. Love In Action, Gangrene and Abandon City are less prog, but still pretty cool. And Love Is The Answer is a classic Todd Rundgren ballad.

In my opinion, this is really the last Utopia album worth owning.
