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.[1]
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[1] and UK,[2] while "American Heartbeat" reached #17 in the US.[1] Both singles also made the charts in Germany.[3]
Following the temporary disbandment of Survivor in 1989, Jimi Jamison recorded a cover of "Ever Since the World Began" for the film Lock Up.[4]
AllMusic's brief retrospective review was dismissive of the album, declaring that "nothing here really scales the same height as the title track".
All tracks written by Jim Peterik & Frankie Sullivan except "The One That Really Matters" written by Peterik.
