Album built around brilliant single - "OTBJ" is still one of the most powerful & mysterious songs ever recorded,but the rest of the LP is basically variation on the same sound, repeated until the trick became painfully obvious. "Niky Hoeky" is great fun,but still,we ard it all before.
Gentle,acoustic ballads like "Sunday best" and "I saw an Angel die" hint at different direction in the future and thankfully,Gentry moved on very soon.
Interestingly enough,voice is bit rough around the edges and leaves impression that producers wanted it that way,in the future Gentry would sound softer and more effective - her husky sound did not need any mannerisms to make it sound more interesting.
Off the wall moment: full blown insect paranoia "Bugs" might be symbol for something else but it still baffles me,one way or another.
