A minor effort

"The NRPS only released three albums after 1980 and this was the first (originally issued in 1989). Note that John "Marmaduke" Dawson was the only original member at this time, and the group had a very different sound than what they were known for in the 1970's. It was great to have Dawson back, but he no longer dominated the studio efforts. As a result, the album is decent, but unremarkable, and serves mainly as a curiosity. It's unlikely that you would listen to it on a regular basis. Get the classic '70's albums first."
