Good Points

Pretty much every phase of the band's 32 year history is represented here. The uptempo numbers are some of the best they've ever done, so it's hard to pick one or two that stand out above the others. But having said that, "Perfect Sunday" and "Shallow Diamonds" are spot-on Damned brilliance.

Bad Points

None, really, except that some of the slower tunes take a couple of listenings before they inevitably grow on you. Then try to get them out of your head if you can.

General Comments

In concert the new material easily meshes with, and stands up to, their older, more well known, songs. This CD deserves a place on the charts, though I doubt it will get crack the Billboard Top 100 album chart. Definitely check out their performances on The Late Late Show w/Craig Ferguson on 10/30 and 10/31, available on You Tube.
