The album gets off to a slow, unfocused start, and improves as it rolls along. What we have is a warm, soulful heavy rock sound, kind of like a personal/unique take on Vanilla Fudge/early Deep Purple styles. Some great heavy riffers (Trip Trip Noodle) and longer, more melodic cuts (Some Reason) keep things varied, and while the whole thing has a slight sixties feel to it, the playing and songs are strong enough. Nice background vocals too, and the whole album is produced with dense and forceful sounds.
