An amazing piece of genre-defying high concept pop metal, an album of a type only five or so bands could ever dare issue, and all of them from the ’70s.

A fine mixture of Sabbath and Misfits featuring graciously round guitar work, driving rhythms, and sneaky melodies. Did I mention great soaring harmonies?
A loose, natural, friendly affair that fully captures Rosie Thomas and friends (Denison Witmer and Sufjan Stevens) just messing around and having a good time.
