The original version of Poison Idea disbanded after their spring 1993 European tour; they played their last show in Portland June 5th, 1993, so these are their final studio recordings. PI was one of the rare bands that keep getting better and better during their career, and this album is definitely another highlight. Similar to the classic Blank Blackout Vacant LP, the rock influence is a bit stronger, and the songs are a tiny bit less memorable, but apart from that this is equally great. [9]  

Die letzte Studio-LP der Fett-Le­gende aus Portland - eine der ganz wenigen Bands, die im Laufe ihrer Karriere immer besser wurden. Diese LP ist jedenfalls ein glorreicher Abgang, hat alles, was die Band groß gemacht hat: Power, ungeheuren Druck, Melodien, und nicht zu­letzt das gewisse Punk-Feeling. Ein weiterer Meilenstein, gleiches Kaliber wie die grandiose Blank Blackout Vacant LP.
