CDs Surveillance (Reissue) #152804
Description
The 1997 Round Hill Records reissue of the band's 1987 release.
Originally issued by MCA records, this was the band's last album to feature vocalist/guitarist Rik Emmett until his return to the band in 2008.
This ninth studio album saw the band going for an MTV and radio-ready sheen, akin to the dominant hard rock sound of the time. This direction was spearheaded by Emmett, who was beginning to become increasingly frustrated by his bandmates dedication to the more blues-rock styling of earlier releases.
The 1988 tour, during which the band members experienced growing disharmony over business decisions and artistic direction, ended with a September 3rd show on the Kingswood stage at Canada's Wonderland. Later that year, Emmett left Triumph and began a solo career.
