This album could have stayed unreleased, since it is a tad dry and has a big wanking guitar solo in it. Opener “Welcome” is a good start but things go downhill after everyone who is everyone is welcomed — the eerieness of the song is Leonard Cohen-esque. “Comedown” cheers things up just in time for the final tune off. By the time “Man” arrives, the Cohen-esque sound is lost, replaced with some really horrendous wank.
