Comments: I tried to get into this album a long while back, but it didn't impress me. Let's give it another go. Yeah, not as bad as I remember but really I have a hard time remembering any of these tracks and very little stands out. The ending on “Mind trip” is nice and bluesy, and I like “Am I the only one”. The opener's good too, but nothing that's really making me sit up and take much notice. Okay, “Child of rage”, the closer, is amazing. But it's too little, too late. Don't see myself coming back to this for a third try.
Intention: I really enjoyed their latest, so who knows? Maybe this is just a bad example of the band.
