This album came off the back of an expensive legal wrangling with former record company EMI, and the distraction seems to affect things here.

This was such a crucial album for Fish but the variety of musicals styles on offer perhaps left some wavering fans confused....the fact that the original version didn't have the completed lyrics for 'Shadowplay' ready add to a feeling Fish was struggling a little for a clear focus.

The songs generally are pretty decent, and some quite fine (Shadowplay/ Credo/Tongues) but the version of 'Lucky' on here is awfully slow compared to the much snappier version that followed on the 'Yang' re-recording.

'Just Good Friends' was always intended to be a duet with a female singer , so again why wasn't it until too was re-recorded?

It ends with the 'Something in the Air ' cover which I actually quite like, but is very different again to the other songs and sums up the fact that this is a very varied collection of styles.
