ST at its angry best

"Do not accept anything Captain Blade said as truth. Because in point of fact, this album is among ST's best. The reason for all the swearing were not as Captain Blade outlined, but as an angry reaction to Sony which insisted ST make another commercial album like The Art of Rebellion (the fact Captain Blade dismisses this album as well tells you how ignorant of ST's ouevre he is). The lyrics are extremely good, just check out Evil: "my morals reach the junction where my conscience stops its function", Mike Clark's guitar is awesome as always and Rocky George leaves ST in heroic fashion with a nothing short of amazing guitar solo in the album's monumentual Love vs Loneliness, surely one of ST's best ever songs. I fully recommend this album."
Disappointing

"This cd plays like Mikes therapy session on a truch load of valumes.low energy,massive amounts of twisted thoughts and no real signs the ST of a few years before.I found this cd weak and lacking.Lackluster in musical proformance and lyrics are overpowering depessed thoughts and mumbleings.I think this was rushed and not well thought out.I don't like giving this bad review but I think it earned it."
