"I love this album. Introduced to them by my girlfriend, who is also an All About Eve fan, from which group Tim Bricheno originally hailed. But don't expect it to be AAE Mk 2 - some very heafty, hard edged, superbly crafted semi-thrash on this album. Brilliant, driving bass, strange but fitting lyrics, all tied together in an excellent production. Great to drive really, REALLY hard to in the middle of the night. Probably one of the best groups never to have received mass acclaim, much the pity they're not still around. Great lyrics, some good AAE samples worked into Wrong Thing (makes you wonder how...) If you've never heard them, treat yourself. If you don't like it, you can probably sell it on at a profit at your local metal record shop, as it's a real gem - I've now got three 2nd hand copies on CD, just in case. Classic tracks : 1000 Easy(2), Wrong Thing(4) and Looking Forward Classic lines : "I'm looking forward to the day I stop breathing..." screamed at the top of Dave/Tim's voice. Ni-ce :>"I - dress - real nice - in black. To remind - myself - that I won't be coming back..."'Nuff said. Jon."
