Fantastic Album and an improvement over slide. Whilst the album is stylistically similar and no more advanced musically than slide there aren't any half arsed B-sides thrown on. The balleds are much better also proving that slave are by no means one-dimensional. The only weak tracks are can't get enough of you, which doesn't flow and sounds a little forced. And Volcano erupting which sounds like a bit of a rush job and is too long. Overall though even the weak tracks are worth listening to, a fine effort by Slave!
