Do you remember Skunk Anansie? Yeah, me too. Do you want those memories of a rock band with attitude intact? Well, then maybe you should stay clear of this album. It starts off with the punkish I Will Break You and that song is, well, not the best song I have heard this year. Sadly I do not think that the quality rises in any particular way over the rest of the tracks. Some songs sounds like an industrial Pink and I am quite sure that this is not the sound they were going for. Some songs are decent but that is not enough for me to save the album from being quite weak overall.
Some bands manage to pull off great comebacks after long hiatuses bud sadly Skunk Anansie is not one of those bands. This band should have been left resting in peace. I am going to pretend this album never happened and listen to the old classics instead. Nah!
