Released in 1978, this album features an angular composition style that mirrors the reality of decaying city environments. The recording quality is thick and tight, creating a difficult atmosphere that reflects the anxieties captured within the songs.
Percussion remains consistent and mechanical throughout the work, anchoring the frantic energy found in the other instruments. It serves as a stark look at the art-punk movement of the era, presenting a high-tension experience that feels like a mind struggling to maintain composure while moving to a rigid, relentless rhythm.
