Only gripes are production is a bit varied, still not a fan of the guitar sound on Chaos & Mayhem although the tune is growing on me, and some of the vocals get lost in the mix. Also Mask is a bit of a duffer, it's got some good ideas in there but never really takes off and is about 2 minutes too long. I'd rather it had been substituted out for Every Day is a World War. On the Equal Zero/ Retro Dreaming debate, I think Retro Dreaming was one of the few VE tunes that was near perfect & the new version whist a great tune doesn't quite hit the heights of the original.
Overall though a very strong comeback, so much better than I could have imagined when the new project was announced. This is definitely a Pop Will Eat Itself lp, Crabbi you've done us proud
