Before the recordings came guitarist Janick Gers, who had cooperated with the solo album by Bruce Dickinson, the band to the left Adrian Smith to replace. Co-sponsored by Smith, before his departure, wrote "Hooks in You" was included and released.

Unlike the previous album Seventh Son ... the band chose the album for a simpler course with shorter compact songs and direct rock approach and ditto production, although songs like 'Fates Warning', 'Mother Russia', 'Run Silent Run Deep "and the title track with a more spacious production than on the albums Somewhere in Timeand Seventh Son of a Seventh Son certainly more visible would have been. The fact is that with the 'Bring Your Daughter ... To The Slaughter' (originally a song from Dickinson's solo oeuvre) delivered the first single in England became number 1 in the charts. The song, however, was also awarded a Golden Raspberry for "worst original song.

The album was received little enthusiasm by most critics.
