1 stars Am I not open-minded enough? I doubt that's the case, considering some of the weird- as-hell music I listen to as the complete proghead that I am. I didn't hear about this album until I'd acquired a fair number of their earlier ones, even up to the later "Rings Around The World" I believe, and to be quite frank, I was intruiged by this literally *because* of its obscurity. SFA rebelling against the man by releasing an album in Welsh, as a result of which they were dropped and had to form their own label? To my rather more youthful self this was incredibly cool; unfortunately the album was incredibly hard to obtain.

But I was very pleased when I found this in an obscure, "alternative" record shop and had to pick it up immediately. I rushed home, intently put the CD into my CD player, and...what's this? I could not *stand* it for the life of me, and the worst thing is, I can't even remember why. Since then it's sat on my CD rack, collecting dust for five or six years. Every once in a while I've tried to convince myself that one bad experience doesn't make the album crap, and that maybe it needs some getting used to, and yet, I'm actually afraid to try and play this album again because I hated it so much upon first listen. I was actually so disgusted by it that I stopped listening to SFA for a while.

It may well be unjustified for me to write a review for this having listened to it just once several years ago, but I think the sheer magnitude of my initial disgust upon first hearing it says enough. Avoid this like the plague.

Best song: N/A
