"The album's big-beat guitar sound is a constant thanks to Wilkinson's classic rock influences: Kinks, Stones, the Who, Iggy Pop and all the other young dudes.......add smart arrangements and the locked-in ryhthm section of drummer Rick Barry and bassist Roland Klasen, and you have a band that manages to be raucous and thoughtful at the same time - the best of tricks."
