Opening with the monstrous riffs of "Honey White" (the album's first single) the album takes Morphine's trademark "low rock" sound to new places. Colley swoops and soars like a sax-slinging Jimi Hendrix, and on "Radar" and "Super Sex" he plays tenor and baritone sax simultaneously. While certifiable pop hooks abound, the combo stretch the boundaries of rock on "Sharks Patrol These Waters" and "The Jury," two forays into near-spoken-word territory. Throughout the album, Sandman continues to baffle traditionalists with his provocative two-string slide bass, while drummer Conway's soulful backbeat locks in the groove.
