A bafflingly unknown and underrated album with Chris Corner hardly ever making a misstep either musically or vocally. Vastly superior to the two preceding releases.

A decent batch of new songs, some curiously positive and devoid of the usual melancholy. While not quite as great and catchy as the main album, this is still a very enjoyable collection of new material.

IAMX on autopilot: subdued instrumentation, songs that don't really go anywhere. Passable but
rather dull after the spectacular Metanoia.
