The existing material benefits from the higher production values employed in this recording and the extra guitar - noticeably absent from the EPs - also helps beef up the sound, allowing the lead guitar to explore solos and melodic touches without the songs losing any muscle.

Of the newer songs, "Punch Your Weight" is the stand-out for me. The frenzied, crunching intro subsides into one of the most luscious pop-punk songs I've heard this year as it gradually builds from a good but unremarkable beginning into a sunbright chorus with sweet backing vocals and an irresistible guitar riff; simply perfect. However, "No Vision" is also excellent from its wistful, melancholy opening bars to its rockin', sing-along chorus. The other new tracks are "Stop" (great cymbal-heavy intro) and "Ten Past Broken" (impressive vocal).

In all, this is a great album which displays first-class musicianship, powerful and harmonious vocal performances and, above all, well-crafted songs that for the most part naturally evolve over the course of 3 to 4 minutes rather than following the tried and tested verse-chorus-verse-chorus, repeat to fade formula. With contributions made, either in a song-writing or playing capacity, by former or current members of various Scottish punk bands such as Beauty School Dropout, The Day I Snapped, Happy But Twisted, the Ritalins and Tempting Kate, this album is something of a Who's Who? (or, more aptly, a Who's That?) of the Scottish punk scene. Intelligent pop-punk for intelligent pop-punkers.
