Album Notes & Community Reviews

Stepping back slightly from the aggressive, stadium-sized rock of 'Blue Sky Mining', the Australian veterans embrace a warmer, more acoustic-driven production style. The politically charged lyricism turns its focus heavily towards environmental conservation and indigenous rights, matching Peter Garrett's impassioned vocals with evocative, desert-inspired arrangements.
