History
Released in 1988, Flowers in the Rain, their second disc, was still "techno-rock" but "the guitars are much more aggressive and the songs provide more variation". It was their first to chart and the second-highest charting album they produced. The songs dealt with issues like self-image ("Fearfully and Wonderfully"), putting trust in God instead of other people or Satan ("Holding the Puppet Strings"), and people's use of excuses to hold on to bad habits ("This Lie").
One of the things that stood out for many people about the first two albums was Roger's faux British accent.
This album was reissued in 1999 by KMG Records on a "two-for-one" disc with Boomerang.
