4th and final studio album release by The Crash following three years after Melodrama (Oct. 2003). Much to the usual procedure all songs are credited frontman Teemu Brunila.
The Crash still produce melodic indie pop and synth pop. Despite being a much better album, it basically lacks great and original material throughout; however, the first half is really promising and contains some fine songs which remind me of their best effort Wildlife (2001) but the quality somewhat lowers on the last five making it a fine but not overwhelming final chapter.
