This album begins the proper modern era of Mamaleek, after the trip-hopy ‘Out of Time’: they cranked metal back up, making the music busier and noisier, simultaneously infusing it with bluesy sensibility. Their trademark sound switches also started here, getting the listener more song per song. As usual, the changes didn’t affect the recognizable atmosphere of the songs.

This was the first time Mamaleek were a full band instead of the two dudes, and gave performances. In fact, the album was recorded live, with “little to no overdubs”.
