So, Peter Nicholls, leaves IQ and in comes Paul Menel. From the opening track, "No Love Lost", not too much difference vocally, but you soon tell a bigger difference with the much more mainstream second track "Promises". Another mainstream, "poppy" sounding, "Passing Strangers" and by this time you realize that this is not IQ from past releases.

Must say they lost their 'PROG' touch with this release and if it wasn't for the lengthy "Human Nature" and the tribal sounding title track, then this album could've rather been seen as a mainstream rock album. Rating wise, this is below their previous efforts and a 2 star rating seems fitting here.
