Against The Law

Against the Law is the fifth release, and fifth studio album, from the Christian metal band Stryper, released on August 21, 1990. Three singles and videos were released for this album including ”Shining Star” (an Earth, Wind & Fire cover), ”Two Time Woman” and ”Lady” but received minimal airplay. This album marked a change in the musical and visual direction of the band. Gone were the yellow and black spandex outfits, the bold evangelical lyrics and the original band logo with Isaiah 53:5. In their place were leather outfits, and lyrics more focused on rock n’ roll and relationships, although arguably from a Christian worldview. The album sold poorly compared to the band’s previous gold and platinum releases.
