I have not been a fan of S.W.S.’s earlier material, but when I heard the first song on this recording, I was somewhat surprised. For this album, a different member took over the writing duties and it’s made for a helpful change. While the band hasn’t gone in a completely new direction, the songs are more creative then their last and they kept my attention longer. The first 3^rd of the album is the best, with the middle songs running together and then ending with a good song at the end. The first song does a good job of representing what you're about to hear, so if you are just looking to sample it, you know where to go.
