Review

Recorded during the same sessions that spawned Hairy, Sick and Tired lacks the unity that made the aforementioned album so powerful.  It's not that the disc is bad, it just pales in comparison to one of the greatest Shitar albums ever. Highlights include Dive and High Maintainance, two guitar-heavy tunes penned by John, Edge, another farewell to love anthem from Matt, and Enigma the first of perhaps many power punk/pop numbers from Mark.  The greatest flaw of the album is that the effort sounds somewhat rushed.  It could be (as the title states) that the members of Shitar truly were sick and tired during the sessions.

Rating (Out of *****)
