Album Notes & Community Reviews
Attempting to capitalize on the massive success of 'In the Meantime', the New York-based British expatriates delivered a highly ambitious, conceptual sophomore effort. Heavily indebted to David Bowie and T. Rex, the album weaves dramatic, piano-driven art rock and soaring power pop melodies with unapologetic 1970s glam rock swagger.
