- They are good, true, but some of the guitar breaks sound very rock like, and
- wouldn't need much producing to push them into the main rock stream.
-
- I was disappointed to see on the sleeve notes that it was made at "The hit
- factory", (for those of you who don't know that's the PWL stable who
- turned out artists such as Kylie, Jason Donovan, Bananarama and Rick Astley)
- they aren't the first, that one-legged horse The Danse Society sold their
- soul there too and lost the few goth fans they had left :*(
-
- Its still worth a buy though!
