ALBUM REVIEW
While some songs suffer from gratuitous protraction, the classic Brand X craftsmanship is still in abundant evidence here. What might have been called the "relaxed intensity" of Livestock or Moroccan Roll is here replaced by something equally intense but not often in danger of suggesting, or inducing, relaxation. The band, still heavily under the influence of Goodsall and Jones, certainly can't be faulted for a change of direction, and the addition of new talent adds some freshness that might not have been achieved with the same old lineup (http://www.pyoing.net/brandx/)
