I still remember seeing the video on MTV for Right Between the Eyes! Powerfull heavy song.

first 3 songs awsome i lost the tape . im happy it's on itunes. its a difern't kind of good first hade more punch second was very mixed with me. i hate to reiterate i love the first 3 songs so much. I will listin to the samples of the rest of the cd. upto song 6 love it but i like commerial metal so if you dont like comerical metal than you wan't like it. i can't get enough of this. This was their 2 best the orginal one title Ican is the best . The 2 cd was a miss for the most part sound to much like rock Not Rock/Metal was titled night of crime. This was their 3rd and last cd the other music here that i didn't mention is Not Icon that was Rock/Metal. I hope this helps you make up your mind.

This was intended to be a kind of comeback album for ICON after their debut (ICON) and follow-up (NIGHT OF THE CRIME) had garnered them what was probably just a cult following in the mid-eighties. They ran into some difficulty as Night of the Crime was set to be released in 1985. The singer, Stephen Clifford, had decided out of the blue that he could no longer do the rock-n-roll lifestyle "thing" and he left the band. With no singer, there could be no tour. So, the album was released as scheduled without any support from the label. It was a little poppy compared to their first effort, but was very good nonetheless. The band eventually disappeared. Guitarist Dan Wexler later decided to give it another try. He recruited new singer Jerry Harrison from another local Arizona band. He was primarily a guitarist but did handle some lead vocals as well. In addition, Drew Bollman was brought in to fill the vacated second-guitar spot. The lineup was rounded out with Tracy Wallach on bass and Pat Dixon on drums. With new member Harrison bringing a fresh perspective to the writing, the band put out these new songs in 1989. They are very different from what the band had done previously. Still very much rocking, but a little more mainstream than what I expected, I found Jerry's vocals to be a bit overbearing. He's a very capable singer, but his growl and vibrato were less "soothing" than Stephen's were. I think Jerry's voice just wasn't as "thick" and rich as Stephen's, and he didn't demonstrate the same dynamic and emotional variations as Stephen, like he was at 10 all the time. Ultimately, the album didn't do much for the band. As I mentioned, there are some really good tracks here for the "hair band" fan, but nothing that has really stood the test of time like the first two albums. If you're an ICON fan from back in the day and don't have this, you have to get it. If you just happen to be looking for some really good tracks, check out "Taking My Breath Away" and "A Far Cry".

about freakin time...
