[edit] Miscellanea

This album is considered by most people to be Petra's heaviest album.
This album contains backwards masking at the beginning of track 5, "Perfect World". It is basically just a guitar riff played backwards.
Even though bassist Greg Bailey was already a member of the band at the time of the recording, it was producer Peter Furler's call to use Wade Jaynes and Phil Joel to record the bass lines of the album.
Greg Bailey is featured as a backing vocalist, and as a co-writer of the song "Would'a, Should'a, Could'a".
A song titled "It's a New Day" was included in some early tracklists, but wasn't included in the final release.
There were talks with original drummer Bill Glover about him rejoining the band. Nothing really developed though.
