Album Notes & Community Reviews

Attempting to maintain momentum amidst a rapidly changing pop landscape, the pioneering rock and roll band leans heavily into their signature, highly danceable rhythm and blues swing. The frantic saxophone solos and driving backbeats remain intact, providing a highly energetic, slightly nostalgic set of party anthems. It captures the group just as their initial, world-changing commercial dominance began to wane.
