It isn’t for the loose listener either, it has been created to shock and to rattle every single bone in the body. There’s no let up, there’s no subtlety, but ferocity and desire. Songs such as “Space And Time” and “Rattlesnake” boil over and showcase the band’s instrumental flair, as well as bellows which could melt paint. It’s an enthralling work.
