Eye of the Tiger (album)

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.

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 and UK, while "American Heartbeat" reached #17 in the US. Both singles also made the charts in Germany.

Following the temporary disbandment of Survivor in 1989, Jimi Jamison recorded a cover of "Ever Since the World Began" for the film Lock Up.

Reception
AllMusic's brief retrospective review was dismissive of the album, declaring that "nothing here really scales the same height as the title track".
