I love this album. I bought it when it came out and thought that it was good, but nowhere near as good as Dimension or Nothingface. All these years later I think it's at least as good. You can hear a bit of Siouxsie And The Banshees, a bit of Floyd, and it works. This isn't 'thrash', it isn't 'punk' - it has a 'punky' energy. To call it 'Heavy Metal' would be an insult. It's deffinitely Voivod, but simpler, melodic, even my partner loves it. It's similar to the last two (Newstead) albums but MUCH more interestng with MUCH stronger material - and of course Blacky's contribution is essential to the REAL Voivod sound. Maybe I'm just an old romantic, but I wish there were more albums like this; if anyone knows of any, please let me know!!
