Enjoyably weird, often psychedellic sounding songs dominated by chilly synthesizers and
doomy atmosphere. It's definitely a great album. The sound of Bauhaus still lingers on a
couple tracks, especially "Real Life". The only issues I have with it is that for all of
it's strangeness, it is pretty derivative at times: "War" sounds like a cross between
"Lowrider" and "Tainted Love" (The title of which is probably meant to lampshade said
influence) and "Happiness" sounds like a less sunny version of "The Lovecats" by the Cure.
