Sadly there is very little to commend this album. It has not lasted well and today is just a mish-mash of the less remarkable compositions of Les Holroyd and John Lees.

Pseudo political and religious messages abound mixed with some angst and love songs. There is never a clear direction to it and it simply feels like a group of songs strung together without a great deal of thought. To me the only worthwhile song is John's Guitar Blues which has a strong guitar solo, but even that becomes tedious after a few plays.

This album came at the time that the band seemed to be struggling. Thankfully there were better things to come.
