Whatever is old can be new again. So, is true for the latest release from Jesus Jones. Primarily know in the late 80s as a driving force in the British techno/dance/punk flavored genre of music, Jesus Jones has been able to keep their identity of music and tweak it for a new millennium of listeners. Being able to evolve with the times and with the high-speed turnover rate in music popularity is essential in maintaining longevity and credibility. With a lot of bands being able to keep the two elements in harmony is sometimes impossible. Fortunately, with this album it seems evidently a success. As always the band's high energy shows through on their songs. The album from beginning to end is nothing but energy. They have held true to their hard guitar, synthesized techno punk driving music they are known for. The album actually has a harder edge than what some might remember of Jesus Jones, but an edge that easily can keep them afloat with the genre of music today. For a child of the 80s reliving musical memories, or the alternative lover, this album is a must listen.
