AllMusic[1]

See Forever Eyes is the second studio album by the Canadian rock band Prism.[2] It was originally released in 1978 by GRT. The album was recorded over a period of five months in 1978, at Mushroom Studios, Vancouver, at Little Mountain Sound Studios, Vancouver, and at Pinewood Studios. It was produced by the future multi-award-winning producer Bruce Fairbairn.

The album was received negatively by music critics, while other reviewers noted good points to the album. It was also a commercial failure, peaking at number 158 on the Billboard 200. However, Prism found some moderate success with the song "Flyin'". The single peaked at 53 on the US Billboard Hot 100.

Composition
