John Sykes returns with the second offering on Geffen with a completely new band that included bassist Marco Mendoza, who later went on to do the Thin Lizzy reunion with Mr. Sykes. Album features big, beefy 1980's sound with big choruses and even bigger production. Great supergroup playing some heavy riffs and nice, blues-influenced hard rock. Melodic but not too soft.

John Sykes (guitar, vocals), Marco Mendoza (bass), Nik Green (keyboards), Tommy O'Steen (drums & percussion), Kelly Keeling (lead vocals on "I'm On Fire").

Tony Franklin (bass), Carmine Appice (drums).
Track Listing:
1. We All Fall Down (4:47) 2. Itchyoo Park (3:46) 3. Cry for Love (6:57) 4. Runaway (5:58) 5. Dance (4:08) 6. I'm on Fire (4:45) 7. Save My Love (4:48) 8. Love Child (5:29) 9. Shouldn't Have Let You Go (4:10) 10. I Need an Angel (7:02) 11. She Knows (3:38)
