I was more familiar with their recent work and this was a good discovery. They were really more post-punk at the time, I also see a Siouxsie feeling in this album and it was overall nice to listen too. I prefer their most recent work (I love Purgatory/Paradise!) but this is first-class music anyway
Coming to this album cold, my initial impressions were of a spiky, post-punk record with a strong Siouxie and the Banshees influence. I then read that the band were actually from Georgia, USA and started noticing equal amounts of REM and even a bit of B52s going on. This was interesting rather than essential for me.
