REVIEW
Pětka "The Day the Earth Caught Fire" je tak trochu zapadlý (pop)progresivní klenot, který uspokojí příznivce Queen, Styx, 10CC nebo Crack the Sky. Je krokem k heavy rocku díky především vynikající kytaře Mike Slamera. Nelze ovšem opomenout neuvěřitelné vokály všech tří sólových zpěváků. Chytlavé, jediněčné, celistvé album s lehkým komerčním přístupem.
