3rd studio album release by Adrian Borland, and the first to be released under his name only. It shows a more introvert and darker side to Adrian, which could be seen as a bit of a return into gloomy despair, as on Thunder Up (1987) the final album by The Sound. In hindsight, it points to and draws attention to his troubled life. Nevertheless, it really contains some fine tracks and "Re-United States of Love" is a wonderful composition.
