The Venus Trail can’t match Hellzapoppin’s amazing bursts of energy - not even with the
angry, two-minute sock in the face “Hey Seuss” - yet it attains nearly the same level of
accomplishment in the expanded range of sounds. “Beautiful Things” applies a quieter setting
to a familiar 3Ds song structure, highlighting Roughan’s firm ability to lead the band,
while the duets on the mellow, electric “The Young and the Restless” and the somber,
acoustic “Spooky” set up a new foundation on which the group can build.
