The Canadian Hard Rock trio has often been compared to Rush. Although their music sounds like Rush’s early records by the time of this release (Sept. ’81) Rush was going in other directions while Triumph kept with their Hard Rock sound. This is another one I taped off the radio in 1982. I had a few of their mid 80’s releases but sold them. This record has some good songs on them. “Magic Power” and “Fight The Good Fight” were two singles that charted. I also like the title track and “Ordinary Man”. “Petite Etude” is a short acoustic guitar solo. Toward the end of 1981 I was still living in Havre de Grace but moved out of the efficiency into a furnished apartment(we had no furniture of our own) on an alley called Freedom Lane. The apartment had a living room and kitchen on the first floor and a bedroom and bathroom on the second. One day my friend Jeff came to visit. We went to a bar called The Lighthouse near the waterfront. A band was playing and they played “Magic Power”, “Ordinary Man”, and “Fight The Good Fight”. They sounded so much like them I thought it was Triumph. But no, just a cover band but I was surprised they were playing those songs just months after the record came out. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
