"Well I dont normally write reviews but this album not even having a single review is an outrage. This is a truely great album by the former Payolas with quite a few top notch songs including Dirty Water and I Will, both phenomenal songs with powerful vocal performances and great instrumental backing. Talk to me is also a great song that was a big hit when this disk was first released for them albeit in a slow and sad style. Some of the disk is odd, The Blind the Deaf and the Lame has an almost celtic style to it, not a bad song but definately not of the same type as their rock type of stuff. Oh Ruby is a decent catchy tune that is a little lacking over the long run in its predictable and repetitive nature (which makes it surprising it was not a hit). Nevertheless the 3 major songs on this short disk "Dirty Water" "I Will" and "Talk to Me" are as good as the Payolas ever produced and since they are not under the same name are unfortunately never to be included on a greatest hits compilation. If you are a Payolas fan and aiming to get their hits you will not have a complete collection of their true greatest hits without this CD."
