Where this album fits

Career context
Released in 2006, Reach marked Survivor's first album in ten years, following their 1997 release, Eye of the Tiger: The Best of Survivor. This album came after a significant lineup change, with new lead vocalist Jimi Jamison joining the band. The record aimed to re-establish the band's presence in the hard rock scene during a period of declining popularity for classic rock bands.
