Because Sony didn't promote this album at the time it was originally released
no one really picked up on it apart from the already established New Model
Army fan base. On this album there is more of the punk attitude that the band
had on their first three albums, the attitude that drove the early records
was what made them so compelling. It's the raw emotion of a track like the
opener "Here comes the War" that really grabs you, the powerful vocals
really make you to listen to what is actually being said rather than just mindlessly
sing along. Another interesting thing about this one is the guitars, they take
on a more rock feel with the sound being particularly sharp and upfront, while
the bass still bangs and grooves along in the style of the earlier releases,
in fact much like the first album. The usual variety of songwriting is on display
ballads, rock and the indescribable songs with emphasis on interesting beats
and creation with the basslines that New Model Army seem to effortlessly churn
out at a rate many bands would probably die for. And as usual the quality never
suffers, it's just in New Model Army's own style, they are a band unto their
own and if you haven't bought any of their records this one is probably a good
starter.
