1982 studio album by Survivor
Eye of the Tiger is the third album by American rock band Survivor, released in 1982. It reached #2 on the US Billboard 200 chart.[3]
The album features the title track, which is also the theme song of the film Rocky III. The single went to #1 in both the US[3] and UK,[4] while "American Heartbeat" reached #17 in the US.[3] Both singles also made the charts in Germany.[5]
Following the temporary disbandment of Survivor in 1989, Jimi Jamison recorded a cover of "Ever Since the World Began" for the film Lock Up.[6]
Reception
AllMusic's brief retrospective review was dismissive of the album, declaring that "nothing here really scales the same height as the title track".[7]
