Album Notes & Community Reviews

For their sixth studio album, the British trio became one of the first rock bands to prominently incorporate the Moog synthesizer into a heavy blues framework. Tony McPhee's aggressive, complex riffing is interwoven with swirling electronic textures, further pushing their sound into challenging, progressive territory. It is a highly inventive, heavy-hitting culmination of their uniquely abrasive musical vision.
