Found in the wild yesterday, at Ka-Chunk Records, in Annapolis MD (a very cool spot). At this point CTS was reduced to a duo, with John Palumbo handing most of the instrumentation. A lot of this album really does reflect the sound of the 1986 this was recorded in, while other bits have an almost timeless quality. As with every one of their albums, most of the songs are serious and sometimes a bit heavy in the lyrical department, but there is always one song that’s really fucking dumb (but still kickass). This time we get “Elvis Was My Daddy!” which is really loud and ridiculous but also features some serious shredding by lead guitarist Jamie LaRitz.
While this album may come nowhere close to what came before or after, it is still an intriguing & entertaining set and a most worthy part of this band’s legacy (as well as my collection).
