Hydra (1979)
The second album reached number 37 on the Billboard Pop Albums chart, with most of its singles going largely unnoticed except for '99', a song inspired by the 1971 science fiction film THX 1138, which climbed to number 26 on the Billboard Hot 100. It pushed further into harder rock territory than the debut.
