The percussion , guitars and keyboards are top notch.....Lyrics are pro NYC ish, but that's part of the beauty of this album......Been listening to it for 15 years now and I still want to get up and dance to it..........Excellent production and the blending of the heavy bass drum as the rock of the songs, you should acquire a taste for it pretty quickly..........The fit of the rhythm guitars throughout the background of the tunes gives it the vibezzzzzz....
The organ and electric piano hit at the right time sequence throughout the tracks and add so much to the FULLNESS of the songs......
My fav's are........................
Mary Shut the Garden Door
The Night Belongs to Mona
H Gang
