This surprised a lot of people at the time for its high proportion of straightforward middle-of-the-road pop songs. The first single "Cover My Eyes" has a passable imitation of the U2 guitar style, while Steve Hogarth's voice is reminiscent of Sting on the title track. "No One Can", a simple love song (but for the possibly disturbing line don't worry if they take me away...) got a lot of radio play. "Dry Land", resurrected from Steve's obscure former band, is also simple but beautiful. To complement the sraight singles, there are extended pieces in the more familiar Marillon style - the album opens with the tormented "Splintering Heart", and closes with the urban introspection of "100 Nights".
