Album Notes & Community Reviews

Injecting vaudevillian theatrics and menacing street-rock attitude into the glam era, the Scottish quintet delivered one of their most consistently brilliant and eclectic records. Harvey's dramatic, often menacing vocal delivery perfectly complements the incredibly tight, progressive-leaning hard rock compositions.
