This is not The Ataris, at least not as we know them. Both lyrically and mucically the writings of Kris Roe and intrinsically John Collura have moved on, almost into a whole new genre. Gone are the love-sick, angst-ridden melodramas of Kris's youth, they have been replaced with more mature emotions, thoughts and feelings, lyrics to savour and melodies to grow into, songs that will evolve with repeated listenings. This CD is a huge step into a different direction, the bell may be tolling for fans who want the End to be Forever, but for The Ataris to grow and mature it will prove to be an essential step towards a better future!
