An album representing a frustrated band with a significant identity crisis beginning with Peter Nicholls exiting stage left and replaced by Paul Menel. Nicholls' departure coincides with a band surrendering its neo progressive rock roots in lieu for a Menel led jangle pop oriented song structure. At times the band seems at odds with its new front man in attempt to maintain a hold to its progressive past, as evident in the album titled track and Common Ground (an ode to World War I veterans) while presenting an entirely different pop direction in Passing Strangers. Even the production is rather muddied with Menel's capable vocals mixed into the music rather than more suitably above in order to better listen to the lyrics. Rather nobly, Nomzamo thematically discusses apartheid, racial segregation in South Africa. Unfortunately both the lack of musical congruity and production of the album itself tend to distract and bury Menel's message altogether.

The best example of how poor and unimportant this album is that its actual title is spelled Nomzamo but none of the people who rated it have bothered correcting it. EDIT: Well, not anymore, it seems. A bad record nonetheless.
