Album of the Day

Allied Forces, by Triumph (1981): Triumph is one of those bands that I really liked when I was younger but never really made a dent in my CD collection (see also, Journey). In fact, for a long time, this was on the only Triumph album I owned on CD. Given that history, I am, perhaps, a little more charitable than the reviewers at PA are. Yeah, some of the tracks are write-off hard rock numbers, but some of the others are quite good, "Magic Power" and "Fight the Good Fight," in particular. No longer a real favorite, but definitely a guilty pleasure.
