A straight-ahead rocker that follows simple hard-rock formulas, trading heavy riffing with guitar fills and solos,^[4] "Caught in a Dream" was the album's second single and featured irreverent, tongue-in-cheek lyrics such as "I need everything the world owes me / I tell that to myself and I agree".^[3]
