Eyes of the World (album) 
Summary
Eyes of the World is a studio album by the band MacAlpine, released in 1990 through PolyGram.[2] MacAlpine was a short-lived project by guitarist Tony MacAlpine, and the album is a departure from his previous work in that it is more commercially oriented, with none of his usual instrumental tracks in the style of neoclassical metal or piano études. According to MacAlpine himself, the project was indeed an attempt to emulate other hard rock acts at the time.[3]
