Never Say Die - 1981 - Star Song

This is the first album with Greg X. Volz is the full-time lead vocalist and Rob Frasier was no longer with Petra. This Album had some good rock with "Angel of Light" and "Praise Ye The Lord". "The Coloring Song" was and is one of Petra's biggest classics, but ironically it was written by a member of Greg's former band "E-Band". "For Annie" is one of the few songs that could (almost) make me cry. Very sad story. "Chameleon", "Father of Lights" and "Killing My Old Man" (they finally got to put that in after not being able to use it in Come and Join Us) are some killer classic rock songs as well. If you heard this album, you can tell that some of their hard rock sound was returning.
