Album Notes & Community Reviews

Spooky Tooth's final album of their original tenure features a heavily retooled lineup, notably replacing Gary Wright's traditional foil Mike Harrison with vocalist Mike Patto. The record delivers a dense, robust mix of hard rock and R&B, highlighted by intense dual-vocal arrangements and Mick Jones' muscular guitar work. It stands as a surprisingly strong, albeit overlooked, final statement from the band before Jones departed to form Foreigner.
