  1. A rather more satisfying record than their second.
  2. It's this mixing of old and new dynamics that makes Nightfreak and the Sons of Becker such a compelling listen.

    A varied, febrile affair more often than not in pursuit of the lunatic. [Feb 2004, p.93]
  4. A flatulent, irrelevant, self-indulgent attempt at recapturing the hotwired spontaneity of their debut through a dirge of sub-par psychedelia and try-hard freakouts.

    don't understand the negative press. if you're looking for a coral fix until their next full length, this is it.

    Nothing essential, but a nice carry over from the second album and a good filler til we get the real deal with their third album proper.
