    Zipper Down on its own is a single short burst of energy stretched too thin.

    Everything here sounds like a happy accident and that's part of the appeal. [Nov 2015, p.108]

    It's an alright effort, but it feels like we're heard all of this before. Heart On still remains their best album.
