The once-intricate bass playing is now almost absent from the mix, and odd times are forsaken for rigid 4\/4 patterns. Despite this, the undistinguished single \"Ruthless Queen\" proved to be the band's biggest hit, nearing the top of the charts in Holland. Though Edward Reekers is consistently too squeaky-clean in his singing, \"Journey Through Time\" might satisfy old fans with its trading off of riffs between an off-kilter guitar hook and synth flutes. \"Crime of Passion\" marches over a martial piano line, and \"No Man's Land\" makes the most of a driving (if simple) rhythm section underlying needling guitar solos and warbling Hammond organ. If this album retains much interest, though, it's probably more for its original vinyl issue as a nifty picture disc than for the music on it. ~ Paul Collins","brand":"InnerSleeve","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41993564553381,"sku":"630428013117","price":37.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/6007\/1077\/files\/c9d547a696ccc419ea850ec4d3c38df9.jpg?v=1772991860","url":"https:\/\/www.innersleeve.com\/products\/phantom-of-the-night","provider":"InnerSleeve","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
