The tenth album from this band from USA.
The band was a trio with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars and vocals.
The band had moved from the extreme metal label Metal Blade to the more prog rock orientated record label Inside Out. If I am not much mistaken, Inside Out is based in Germany.
The band was in a decline by now. Both commercially and in their creative outputs.
The album starts very promisingly with the title track which is a good song. It is by far the best song here and it is in the good old King's X tradition. Just like the fans want this band to be.
The rest of the album is a mishmash of old 1950-60s pop, beat and whimsical songs. It is a creative failure and this is the least representative album this band has ever done.
Only the title track and some sporadic good ideas saves this band from being at total disaster. It is still an album well worth bypassing and by a large geographical margin.
