Album Notes & Community Reviews
Following the departure of founding member Michael Brown, vocalist Ian Lloyd took complete creative control for the band's third and final album, steering them heavily into sophisticated glam and power pop. The record eschews the classical flourishes of their earlier work in favor of harder-edged, guitar-driven anthems and slightly more aggressive, radio-friendly hooks. Despite solid songwriting and tight production, the album failed to replicate the massive commercial success of their previous release.
