Never Surrender by Triumph
Never Surrender is an album by Triumph, released in 1983. 2 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 6 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “A World of Fantasy”, on 5 lists with a best position of #848.
Never Surrender, Triumph's sixth studio album, finds the Mississauga trio of Rik Emmett, Mike Levine and Gil Moore doing what they did best: big, guitar-driven hard rock with its fist in the air and its heart on its sleeve. The title track and "A World of Fantasy" swing for the arena seats, which is where a band that built its name as a live act always seemed to be aiming.
In the States it reached number 26 on the Billboard albums chart, carried by three singles on the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart: "All the Way" at number two, "A World of Fantasy" at number three and "Never Surrender" at 23. Home was less kind. It stalled at 29 in Canada, well short of the 13 that Allied Forces had managed, and none of the singles cracked the RPM Top 100, though album-rock stations there still gave them spins.
