Digitally remastered edition of this 1985 sophomore album from the Canadian melodic heavy metal rockers. One year after their debut album Don't Look Down, the follow up Tricks Of A Trade was released. In 1985 the international heavy metal scene went heavier, so the early '80s sound of Tricks Of A Trade might have been a bit outdated to catch the interest of the heavy metal audience. The high pitched vocals by Bob Moody, who replaced the equally strong Terry Kushner, were typically US-style, but musically Touchdown clearly was influenced by the European scene. If you listen to songs like "On the Run" or "Breakin Out" a touch of German or Scandinavian Metal is evident. Probably the best song on the album is "Pay The Price" with a really great hook, but all in all the album is a fine example for well-played Canadian melodic Metal with really outstanding vocals!
