The first song on this album is titled "Essentially, it's a Viking funeral hymn for those whom hath slain red-haired berzerkers." I think you know where this is going: electrospastic keyboard music for people with bad posture. I really liked this album, it is energetic, inventive and sexy. I am assuming that the lyrics are interesting as well, but I can not find them anywhere to reference. Well, what I imagine the lyrics to be is interesting at least. They are not a hype band, instead according to the band's press statement: "we like to let our hot licks and bomb ass beats do the talking for us." Beat on, Thunderbirds, beat on.
