Night of the Crime is the second album by American rock band
Icon. It was far more polished than their
self-titled debut and forayed into areas of
glam only previously alluded to on their debut. It was produced and engineered by
Eddie Kramer. Around 30 songs were demoed for the album, and Kramer's version included one more finished track, "Hang Tough" (later covered by
Pretty Maids).
Ron Nevison mixed the album and "Hang Tough" did not make it to the final release. The album has, like the debut, been remastered and re-released several times on CD. Night of the Crime was voted third best
AOR album of all time by Kerrang! magazine readers in 1988, behind multimillion-selling classic albums by
Journey and
Michael Bolton.[4]
