This is one of the best albums by the Animals. Burdon's singing is exceptional. The keyboard work is fantastic, as are the other instruments. However, the CD is defective. There is noticeable distortion in "Please Send Me Someone" and in "The Fool." It sounds like a bad master tape. I compared it to a vinyl copy and the vinyl does not have this distortion. But this CD is better than no CD. Animals fans have waited so long for this album to be put on CD, I would recommend it even with the distortion.

A lot of great sixties bands made lame albums in the seventies, and this is definitely that. Eric Burden had the potential to be a great rock vocalist, he squandered it trying to be a mediocre blues vocalist, as this album aptly demonstrates. Fans of the band should stick to comps or the sixties albums, this album should just fade away.

Recorded in 1977,this album is the essence of the era. I can smell the beer,whiskey and cigarettes as I listen. Music not for a concert hall but a smaller, rowdier environment. Straightforward, not overdubbed, it almost sounds live. Pour a cold one, fire up a smoke. It don't get much better than this.
