Advantages: Brilliant Album

Disadvantages: A little on the bleak side

This, the 3rd full length album by Northern Irelands finest is one of the hidden gems of British rock music. Starteling in both its song writing and epic almost cinematic scope Therapy? have never been better.

While most were expecting a rehash of the the bands biggest commercial success to date (Troublegum) Therapy had other ideas for its follow up forgoing the straight ahead pop metal favoured on Troublegum for this gothic masterpeace completely laced with bitterness and and cairns unique growel and lyrical bent.

There are still elements of Therapy?'s earlier sounds here as evidenced on the bouncy but twisted 'Loose' and the fast guitar stabs and chanting chorus of first single 'Stories' but it really is the epics such as 'Moment of clarity' 'Diane' and 'Jude the obscene' that grab the attention here.

Industry types may have refered to this album as commercial suicide but amoungst us die hard fans of the band this album is and always will be cherished.

Summary: Key Tracks - A Moment of clarity, Misery, Jude the obscene
