"...there are 3 really fantastic songs that actually make the investment worthwhile to this Hammond obsessed freak. "Rock Balls" is a fab organ groover, pushed along by a punchy drum/sax line and contrastingly solidly developed electric guitar throughout. "Filet Millon" is probably the best song on the album, but I am always a sucker for gospel sermon, and would absolutely love to hear this one with a vocal chorus bring it all the way home. "Trick Nut" is my favourite of the bunch, simply because it showcases best what Hollis can really do - after all his name is above the marquee and he should get the lions share."
