| Any Queensryche fan would love this album. Lead singer sounds exactly like Geoff Tate. One of the best Christian metal albums.

| If there was ever a 'Heavy Metal Praise and Worship' compilation, these guys would star. 'ANcient of Days' pure adoration of God, 'Holy is the Lord', I used this track in a worship meeting at our church,'Alive' rowdy gospel presentation,'Eternal Destiny' the invitation to live 4ever in heaven or in Hell. This album is one of the great achievements of the 80's Christian Metal Renaissance.

| I just got the re-issued version of this one on Magdalene Records, with a bunch of bonus tracks. I missed it during its original release but have always wanted to hear it because of its legendary reputation. I was NOT disappointed! I love Queensryche, and these guys' sound is very close to classic QR. 'Dreams' should've been a major hit!

| Ever buy a CD everyone says shreds; and, after listening ask, 'Yeah, so?' That's RECON. Nothin' special. An afterthought. G. Ochoa admits in the liners he had his eye on another band. But, the songs were written already. So, might as well burn the CD. Recon a' la Ochoa is committed to long, guitar-driven songs -- which is nice once in a while. Not every song! Vett Roberts is good, though his voice gets away from him now & then. All in all, Recon is -- well -- kind of boring.

| This CD is terrific. The guitars are fast and heavy. Vett Roberts is a great vocalist. Sorry Cephas, I disagree with you on that one. I found Recon to be a great band. Highlights for me are Dreams, Take Me Away, and Alive.

| Vett Roberts' voice indeed warbles when he tries to hit some of the higher notes; it gets away from him. Sadly, when he performed live at Cornerstone with a reunited Recon, it was clear his pipes were shot. Sorry to disagree, but my ears don't lie.

| Recon have a new singer (I guess you were right Cephas, Vett's pipes were shot!) and are working on a new CD called CHOSEN FEW. Check out their site: www.geocities.com/reconmetal/

| You can feel the presence of the Lord on this CD. IN my opinion Recon is the best band I ever heard.

| Esta banda ha sido como una de las primeras experiencia metalera en los 7 años del camino cristiano..puedo decir que esta banda es muy brutal hiper-demasiado buena su furor de heavy metal es mas progresivo de una antigua banda llamada 'Fates Warning' pero con la fuerza de Espiritu de nuestro Dios YHWH,que me hace sentir mas fuerte en el camino de esta vida...que asi sea una vez mas que esta banda retorne otra vez para seguir cautivando a tantos rockers del mundo para el 'Reino de la Real Monarca

| Recon play a brand of metal that is very melodic yet retains it's heavy feel. Lots of galloping, tons of crunch, and a hook in every song. Vett Roberts seems to have studied at the Geoff Tate school of metal singing. Unfortunately, this would be the only disc by this band as founder George Ochoa would leave to join Deliverance. A few years later Mike Grato and John Christianson would also join Deliverance. Jimmy Brown co-wrote Behind Enemy Lines, sang background vocals & played lead on Alive.

| Definitely right about the Geoff Tate-ish vocals. Good mostly, but can get away from him on the really high end. Great sounding guitars and great songs. Can't say how many times I've listened to the title track (which incidentally Jimmy Brown co-wrote before getting George Ochoa to join Deliverance, hence the speed metal sound)! Great stuff!

| I liked the album when I bought in '90. I still think that were quite good. George is a great player with great chops. Vett's vocals reminded of King Diamond more so than Geoff Tate but that's a personal thing. Anyway, this is a great album to own as it's a definitive part of Christian Metal History. Peace, Will

| The California Metal II has 2 Rare Recon Excellent Tunes on it called Light the Fire & Dreams . Anyone Interested email me at dlut6@yahoo.com ..

| Both the California Metal tracks were released on the Magdalen Records re-issue of Behind Enemy Lines. I always thought the song 'Light The Fire' from that compilation was one of the band's best songs. I was already a fan before Behind Enemy Lines came out and was disappointed that Light the Fire didn't make it onto the album.

| The first CD I ever got. Melodic power metal, with some progressive and speed metal thrown in. A great evangelistic message, belted out by Vett Roberts incredible, soaring pipes! A powerful debut, and one that brings back good memories!

| Hey Lance! You can find this cd at radrockers.com along with a ton of other hard to find Christian rock/metal. By far the best place to shop for this kind of music. Great service too!

| I've had this album for nearly 20 years, and it's still one of my Christian rock favorites out of over 400 albums. Very consistent, totally rocking, very good vocals (never noticed Vett struggling on the higher notes...I'll listen again), and quite simply one of the best Christian metal releases ever. If I had an extra hand, I'd give it three thumbs up!
