STRYPER paved the way for many. Still playing today after 40 yrs

Michael Sweet, himself has stated that he is not a huge fan of this album because he thinks it's over produced and glam, but it really one of my favorites. Love it

When the lyrics are blunt and easy to understand about our faith it’s more enjoyable. When one has to decipher what the lyrics means it’s a spirit crusher. In my opinion. Stryper is straight to the point.

This song is fantastic, I am a huge fan Michael sweet and Oz fox are two great guitarist they play together amazingly both guys can play lead and the sound great when they harmonize,Michael sweet is a fantastic singer and Robert sweet can beat them drums.they are still putting out albums today and they are great give the newer stuff a listen,you won't be disappointed

I used my first $100 bill to buy this cassette. Because I think I'm so clever. But still a great album. Love these guys. Current stuff is amazing.

Love that song! The very first Stryper song I heard back in 8th grade was "Keep the Fire Burning" and I loved it! They played it on a Christian FM station that had just come on the air.

This will always be my favorite Stryper song

This album got a lot of hate because it was overproduced but there are some great songs on it!

Great song! Stryper knows their way around a well written tune.

I'm glad to finally find a christian reaction channel! My name is Karl, 58, from Albuquerque! I see you've reacted to Petra and Stryper; Petra was my first christian group I heard so keep the Petra reactions coming! I also recommend You reacting to White Heart(probably from the album Freedom and newer), also Idle Cure, and one of my favorite bands AD(former members from Kansas formed this band) all of their albums from Time Line to Prime Mover are excellent! More suggestions to follow!

This has by far Michael's best scream at the end, but what's awesome is that Oz is that second scream you hear after the first one and is still proceeding the first after the highest note is reached! As my first introduction to their heavier side, my first experience with them ever being "Always There For You" I was absolutely blown away 5-ish years ago when i put on the title track- it remained the "heaviest" song on my playlist for a while until i explored Scorpions and Van Halen a little further. Damn good music from these three, even if the other two are blatantly secular.

This is cool! And so catchy. That echoing effect at the intro was cool too, and the riff

I can believe you haven't heard this classic son ? Is like soldiers under command 😁🎸🎶🎵🎶🎵✝️♥️👍

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING BAND AFTER ALL THESE YEARS!🖤💛🖤🙏💕🤘

Nice Sleeping Giant hat. I love Stryper. The newer albums will surprise you for sure, harder but not lacking the Stryper style.

That perfect era of christian metal was built in large part with Stryper's three 'great' albums: Soldiers Under Command, To Hell With the Devil, and In God We Trust. Bride's Show No Mercy and Live to Die were mixed in their too, but Stryper had all the public notice.

Love this album, played it a lot when it came out and for a few years after, great reaction, glad you liked it.

Stryper (and this brand of metal in general) isn't really my thing, but they sure know how to make a song. Michael's vocals are great too. My mum loves this band 😂

Un gran y bendecido tema ... Saludos desde Chile

i like this cd a lot i got when it came out and saw them when they were on tour for this cd. If you like you also like Shout with of their first two cd It won't be long and in your face.

Good album, but probably their most overproduced album (Michael sweet would agree). Good songs on this album, but prefer soldiers and thwtd. Agree and have stayed in prior responses look into some kind of series looking into the pioneers, Saint, Philadelphia, Daniel's band etc I guess I am a little old school but like to pay homage to those that paved the way for the new generation . Love seeing someone l8ke you experiencing the forefathers and sharing the new generation of bands with us old timers lol. GOD bless you for this site. Keep it up!

Fun fact: Michael Sweet had a cold (or a least a fever) during recording. Says the reason he sounds higher these recordings. I hope we do more classic rock/metal. Try "Bad Place" by Novella

Unfortunately bye far this best song on the album lonely good and writing on the wall

I love their more recent song-video Make Love Great Again where Blade Runner meets metal

Yes in God we trust is one of there best but i also love the song on that album lonely

That other guy responding before me is right…check out the Novella song he suggested. That entire album is a masterpiece of art-rock. One of my favorites to this day.

Probably my favorite Stryper album.

tHIS SONG ROXX SO HARD~

In God We Trust was the very first tape I got that was "mine."

Some great Stryper on this album based on what I've listened to. "The Reign" in particular features some of the most amazing guitar work by Oz Fox. That said, the ballads on IGWT may easily be considered "cringe" by most standards. I saw part of an interview with Michael Sweet where he remarked that they felt the album was overproduced as they were trying to sound too commercial in some ways which overly softened certain aspects of the in-your-face sound that usually makes Stryper what they are. The heavy tracks (like this one) still hold their own; but the ballads definitely suffered imo.

What band is that S X G album?

Here's another version of the song, which is the way they play it live. Perhaps you will prefer this over the original. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qLGfp9ikzNKtfmg.html

I think Michael Sweet has the best vocals in metal. God gave him an amazing talent!!

Live version in Japan is better
