Coming from a bad album, they quickly release another one, obviously improved. Yet, worst than their first five.

My track-by-track opinion:

Mother Of Pearl: A mainstream rocker, not a very special song but a nice one.

(In All Of My Dreams) You Rescue Me: A very quiet love ballad, really irrelevant for the first 3 minutes, bit with a nice guitar solo part at the last 2 minutes and a prog-ish closing section with sounds from nocturnal insects, which fades to the next song.

Runaway: Yes! A straight-forward hard rock song with very good riffing, radio-friendly lyrics and tight built. A very good song.

Lorelie: Jazz-funk song with additional percussion and a nice groove. It gains volume at the last part, with stronger performances and a powerful solo by Andy Powell. Joyful!

Outward Bound: A very colorful instrumental track, full of different sounds and very tasty performances by all members of the group. Rich and inspired, my favorite track from this album!

Prelude: Slow intro which reminds me of the "Pilgrimage" melodies.

When You Know Love: Another mid-tempo song, with an essence of "Sometime World" from Argus. The guitar solo part is the best once more. Not an equally great song in any way, but a good one.

Lonely Island: Yet another ballad with nothing special. They have wrote many better than this one.

Candlelight: A nostalgic short instrumental which is credited to all four Wishbone Ash members and former member Ted Turner. Nice musical taste.

RATING: A mediocre album, but definitely an improvement from their previous. Totally 2,5 stars, but 2 stars is too low. I'll go with 3.
