(5 out of 5 stars)

"This was the first Skyclad album I've listened to, some years ago. At that time, I was struck by their highly innovative compositions, as well as by the passion and the sheer anger with which the bandmates managed to deliver their music. Also, I believe that Martin Walkyer is one of the most honest, gifted and inteligent lyricist in the entire rock history (I mean it!). A good deal of the tracks are devoted to social criticism, in a humorous (althought often bitter) manner. These are the highlights of this album: Inequality Street, The Wrong Song, Penny Dreadful, The Sinful Ensemble, Quantity Time.

A highly recommended album. Cheers!"
