The
key to the success of the Pretty Things first studio recording in 19
years is that most of it sounds as if it were made during their mid-'60s
heyday rather than at the time of their early '80s demise. It's
downfall is overwrought, out-of-style songs like "Love Keeps Hanging
On," which sounds like something the fictional band, Strange Fruit,
would've come up with. Cover songs like "Eve of Destruction" and "Play
with Fire" are completely redundant, yet the openers, the jangly guitar
workout, "Passion of Love," and the Bo Diddley-beat tribute to an old
bandmate, "Vivian Prince," make the disc worthwhile.
