The last albums from this excellent Dutch band were not really thrilling, and I had to be quite optimistic with their previous one to rate it with two stars.

This album is unfortunately not good at all. At least in its initial phase.

The opener must be one of their weakest track ever. Loads of wind instruments, funk-pop- rock of the poorest quality. One option only: press next. Or double next to avoid the evitable funky ''Future''.

Finally, some fine basic rock enhanced with good keys from Jan Stips breaks the boring mood. ''Baby Dynamite'' is the first acceptable song from this ''Cut''. ''Lost & Found'' can also be categorized as such, but when I listen the atrocious ''Last Of The Mohicans'', the desolation totally invades me.

Another good track is the disco-rock ''Twilight Zone''. Some sort of ''Miss You'' (Stones) emanation. Bearing in mind what the listener had to endure so far, it has to be considered as a highlight. Actually it is a good song and since it lasts for about eight minutes, it is raising the level of the whole work substantially even if some might argue that is it too repetitive. But I prefer repetitive and good than short and weak.

Almost the same feel about ''Chargin' My Batteries''. Nothing revolutionary but a simple and effective rock track with melodic vocals.

I quite don't understand the way that the band (or their management) decided the running order of their tracks on their last five albums or so: the first three or four were always amongst the weakest which is quite bizarre. At times one doesn't even have the strengths to listen further. And, it is again the same with this ''Cut'' since the closing ''Secrets'' is quite decent as well.

Two stars finally.
