When Beyond All Sense was released in 1985, it was met with approval from media and audience. In retrospect, the album isn’t what it had the potential to be. Still, it’s easy to see why the few people who got hold of a copy – in spite of close to nonexistent marketing – liked it.
Though it suffers from substandard production and a lack of Zenny on vocals, it’s still made up of great songwriting. This was to become all the more apparent when Destiny later re-recorded three of the songs for the second and third albums. ”Hard and sensible, uncompromising music, promising and fast chord changes with breakneck solos”, a review in a Swedish magazine said.
