This is Gordon Bells greatest album to date, A mixture of tales about politics, love, addiction, disappointment, and social injustice... When you listen to this album from start to finish you are taken on a journey, a journey which embosses images into your mind that stay there long after the music has ended.
The bohemian influence remains, first characterized with Gordon's previous incarnation as Gustav Bertha. Songs that stand out on this album are 'American Boys', a satirical assault on American policies and the image the rest of the world have of them... 'White Collar Slave' - You work all your life kissing corporate ass and get a carriage clock at the end... 'Cold War', a tale about growing up in 'cold war' Thatcherite Britain... 'Lucky Stars', a tear jerker, shall we say... a story about having to go to war to kill the pain of love.. But the album is triumphed by the absolutely brilliant 'Song for the Broken Hearted'.. a strangely positive song about moving on after your heart has been broken...
