AllMusic[2]

The band, recently abandoned by their original singer and guitarist, shed their blues-based rock sound and picked up a more progressive rock sound (reminiscent of Uriah Heep), with added psychedelia. This was largely thanks to the addition of singer Jon Wearing, guitarist Craig Webb, and keyboardist Larry Zelanka (Zelanka was only considered a guest on the previous two albums).[3]

The German CD release (Repertoire Records) features two bonus tracks.

gollark: It still seems to *work*, but the noise is annoying and I figure relying on it continuing to work with a capacitor blown or something is maybe not smart.
gollark: The nearest repair centres are, according to the website, quite far away, too.
gollark: My device is still warrantied but not having a laptop for ages while it gets repaired would be very inconvenient, so does anyone know how long this sort of thing generally takes to get fixed (or if there is a simple repair I can do, but I doubt it)?
gollark: I have begun hearing a periodic buzzing-ish noise when heavy GPU loads occur, since hearing a "pop" noise earlier today. I figure this is a failure of the GPU power supply somehow.
gollark: It seems kind of dubious that someone can remotely do serious physical damage to your wireless hardware.
