Stryper : Against The Law

YOU'RE A SHINING STAR

NO MATTER 

WHO YOU ARE

SHINING BRIGHT

TO SEE

WHAT YOU COULD

TRULY BE

 Against the Law 

is the 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 I

saiah 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.
