‘The stereotypical Difficult Third Album, in which we tried to change the formula a bit without quite knowing how. It’s darker than the first two, and the reggae influence is more pronounced. There’s some good stuff on it (I especially like the title track and ‘Biology’) but it’s not quite the triumphant swan song of this band. For that, see ‘Volume Four’.’
