Questo cd è una irresistibile cavalcata che non lascia spazio a pause: va ascoltato dall'inizio alla fine in un crescendo ritmico notevole per bellezza ed efficacia. Sarebbe difficile individuare un pezzo migliore di altri. Bella l'immagine "di piazza" nella foto di copertina di cui è autore Joe Bangay. Il booklet contiene tutti i testi e le illustrazioni di Ben Stone. Se non avete questo cd, fate qualcosa per procurarvelo.
