At 5:37, The Inner Sanctum's opening track State of Grace would be one of, if not the finest tracks on the album. After about a quite minute long intro which helps create suspense and interest in the music, the song morphs into a Helloween influenced piece of work. With album number eighteen Saxon definitely shows that their age has not caught up with their music's quality, nor will they coast aimlessly through the rest of their playing days. With songs such as Need for Speed and If I Was You the British band puts forth efforts which reflect its past sound and its present sound.
