Fun, Fun, Fun Till Their Daddy Took Their T-Bird Away

"This was Wire Train's last album, and it has a totally different vibe than their four previous efforts. I don't know if they knew, or at least suspected at the time, that this would be it, but it feels like they decided to go out having fun. The album has a very loose, relaxed, carefree vibe. The lyrics sound more spontaneous, the vocal harmonies are a little bit ragged, and all in all it sounds more "live". When I first bought the album in 1992, I was a bit put off by this, and it took me awhile to appreciate "No Soul No Strain", but now it's my second favorite Wire Train album, behind only 1990's eponymous set. Highlights include "Stone Me", "Willing It To Be", "Higher", "Impossible", and "17 Spooks"."
A humble review
