5 stars I came to this through discovering Francis Dunnery's solo work. I wasn't sure if It Bites with no Francis would be any good: It is. This is absolutely superb. It plays non-stop on my players.

The opening My God is a breathtaking use of close vocal harmony and each song from Ghost onwards leads us into the land of pure musicianship and catchy melodic themes sewn together in a feast of elegant, structured songs: you can't stop yourself singing along as well as gasping in awe. The music develops through many highs and surprises but, as often is evident in excellent works, reaches the inevitable goals. A true sign of a work of art. It hits all the buttons.

This album has led me back to their earlier albums, which are now playing in sequence with they're newest baby. Lets have some more.

Now I wonder what the new Francis album is like?
