I have to confess I struggled with this one. It is extreme. In the extreme. Best thing I can do is quote my friend Ian Farrow’s thoughts on it. “I came home one night from work after calling at the pub for a couple and listened to the first disc in the dark by myself. Afterwards I felt like I had been in the most bruising football match. I was battered and exhausted. Musically and lyrically there is no rest. I have been listening to David Gates ever since.” Uncle Lou of course does have history with extreme stuff e.g. Metal Machine Music. I will probably play this about as often as MMM. Not very.
