All the ingredients of the definite Chrome sound is here, yet not refined: 4/4 beats, fuzzed guitars, and science-fiction thematics. There's influences from progressive and psychedelic rock, giving a true "seventies" coloration to the album. The singer Mike Low is sometimes credited to have ruined the record, but there's great work done by the whole band to gives a captivating psych-out album. Also, we can hear some kind of preview of the music Damon would later developed in solo, with the imposing Memory Cords Over The Bay.
