Album Notes & Community Reviews

For his second solo excursion outside of The Who, the virtuoso bassist delivered a characteristically dark, cynically humorous collection of hard rock. Enlisting guitarists Peter Frampton and Jimmy McCulloch, the robust, heavily amplified arrangements provide a massive sonic backdrop for his macabre lyricism and formidable, thundering bass lines.
