It says something for the quality of Shaynes' musicianship that he can experiment with new sounds and musical direction, but still retain the quality that hallmarks his work with Straitjacket Fits, this album is "funkier" than "I Believe You are A Star" but still as experimental, not in a whirrs and bleeps way, but by the blend of aural textures and rhythms, as well as styles. He of course, always manages to infuse emotion into his songs, "Only One that Matters" is breathtaking in its intimacy, its like watching a seduction. Backwards has a slightly off kilter bass/percussion combo that sounds like it has been looped backwards, to add to the backwards vibe of the song, iin fact, as backwards songs go, it reminds me a little of "30 Frames a Second" by Simple Minds, in that you get the "going backwards" vibe in that as well. Cool. Takes you back to where you started, 30 frames a second" - magic.
