Strong record with a consistently high quality, that grooves with excellent piano, bluesy
guitar licks and some beautiful saxophone. Political without being in your face. Best
compared in a manner to an Aussie blend of Thin Lizzy & The Rolling Stones. Barnes at
probably his most lush, soulful and crooning, and his least angry, the sound has a depth,
clarity and breadth that later records lacked, which allows the instrumentation to fully open
into its own.
