    There's too much instrumental cleverness to get to grips with the theme. [Nov 2004, p.118]

    Unfortunately, these high points are surrounded by plenty of semi-coherent nonsense about the wanderings of their fictional protagonist soldier boy.

    While the dizzying mix of musical styles and absurdist lyrics is still there, Camper are a much more skilled, mature band.
