"Eyes of the World" is the third studio album by guitarist Tony MacAlpine, released in 1990 on PolyGram Records. In a departure from his previous albums, "Eyes of the World" is more band-orientated than his usual solo work. It contains no instrumental tracks and is stylistically more straightforward; leaning more towards hard rock than neo-classical metal.
