This was maybe the most difficult album for me to do with Scott and Randy. Randy and Scott were at each others throats and after awhile they stopped fighting with each other and basically just refused to be in the studio together. It made it very hard to finish the project. Randy never wanted to be in the studio when Scott was there and if they were both in the studio at the same time they would not say a word to each other. I thought the music was very good on this album but nothing seemed to be working the way that I wished it to as far as the other two members went. I remember spending many nights trying to figure out how I was going to fix everything and finally after the album was done and we had done a few live shows it became obvious that there was going to be no fixing the situation between Randy and Scott. I decided that the only thing to do was to disband the group and see if things could cool off between the two of them. They never did and so this became the last album from the Manilla Road that most people new. This line-up of The Road lasted from 1984 through 1992. I was very happy with the guitar parts that I played on this album and I also thought that my guitar playing was very good also but I think the whole album was just a little disjointed because of all the turmoil and friction that was going an between the band members. My favorite songs on this project were From Beyond, Dig Me No Grave and The Prophecy.
