Boppy, catchy, lyrically interesting. Great > stuff. They even take a nasty jab at Rundgren in the lyrics: "No > hidden message, nothing political..." Oops, when has Mr. Rundgren been serious; remember the "I want to change the World" lyrics? He usually jabbed at other artists. Even if the collaboration between Runt and XCT was a painsome one - it also was a fruitful one! Best XTC album ever made from those punk boys!
