As good as Stoneage Romeos? Umm…almost. It’s quick, assertive, assured and a ton of fun. There’s a contained energy on “In the Wild” that seems like it might spiral out of control but it’s held together with tension as it comes to a head and gives a way to the moderate tempo’d Split Enz-esque “Death Defying”.
As I’m writing this I’m listening to the first side and it just doesn’t stop. It’s one great track after another.
