I'll say one thing for this album: it has a stunning cover, drawn by Devra Freelander, who is apparently a sculptor. Unfortunately it would appear that the music contained herein does not live up to that stark, breathtaking image. It's pretty much jangle rock, upbeat but so far pretty unremarkable. Four tracks in and I'm bored. Still, that's halfway so I won't bail, just in case, but I don't hold out much hope really. There's something about the title track, in fairness, but it's the only one so far. Last track has a nice kind of Lightning Seeds feel to it, but overall not terribly impressed.
