Played it a few times yesterday. Yus I likes it very much. Mellower in tone than I thought it might be - in fact for those that think Cope has been a bit too metal or rock* recently will find much to like here. Tonally I'd put it somewhere between the mellower moments of "You Gotta Problem With Me" and some of the catchier stuff off "20 Mothers" with a couple of almost "Peggy" like slow-burning epics. Those expecting a return to slicker production styles might be disappointed although it's not all as 'rough' as some previous recordings. Some of it's downright poppy.

"All The Exploding..." is hilariously catchy as others have said. Oh if only it gets some airplay somewhere. Black Sheep -an album for fans of Julian Cope I'd say.


*Though obviously there's no such thing.
