This album has matured ,I wasn`t too keen when it came out ( The Black and White and The Raven were hard acts to follow) . Dave Greenfield is fantastic on this album . Alot of the late 70`s bands struggled when the 80`s came along ,far inferior bands were championed as the new thing ,but if you look back now this stands out as an extremley complex album with superb musicianship (as usual) throughout. I agree a largely overlooked classic

I agree, I love their 1st 7 albums. But this is one of my favorites. The sound mix on all of these songs are dark and brilliant.

One of my favourites as well. Saw them perform most of this LP in Toronto. Waiting for the Meninblack is cool too. * JJ jumped off the stage and smashed some guys tape recorder, the show almost ended! Hughs tele playing on this one is awesome.

for me it's their best album - one reason is because it was the first album i owned that was psychedelic without relying on 60's references...i loved it's combination of psychedelic/post punk , and still do...and of course the humour - it's an edgy, creative, and funny album, a largely overlooked classic in my opinion...
