There's two typical things about the Stranglers and never imitated by any other band: the organ and the thumping bass. And this is a true return to form on both levels and their best album since their first two classics. Also the singer Paul Roberts (not really new but here he really shines) s a worthy replacement for Hugh Cornwell. And the best examples are the first two tracks, the title track and Big Thing Coming which rock like hell. But the jazzy slow Dutch Moon is certainly also worth a listen.
