80's Spin Offs That Don't Quite Click

"This album is saved by three very different songs; '100 Fresh Disciples', 'Mutha Fukka On A Motorcycle' and 'Unsent Letter'. If it won't for these three songs, the album would consist of what seems to be rather twisted 80's spin offs that although at times offer a bit of humour, more or less fail to catch one's attention due to a lack of rythm and lyrical depth (except for the above mentioned songs). '100 Fresh Disciples' immeadiately reminded me of Tom Waits (with a clearer voice) and its consatnt use of off-key sequences would have made Bowie proud. 'Mutha Fukka on a Motorcycle' is an extremely catching peice of music with attidue which seems to take off the early female Rythm and Blues artists with the guest appreace of Mistriss Talula. 'Unsent Letter' is a rather deep, slow love song that really only stands out due to its lyrical depth. Overall, the album is o.k, but I would suggest you save your money and look for their E.P called "Impossible Love" that contains both '100 Fresh Disciples' and 'Mutha Fukka On A Motor Cycle'. Cheers"
