The mood swings on this album are so pronounced that Alabama's Dan Sartain comes over like a punk rocker with bipolar disorder.
There are brash UK '77 style blasts of rage, notably on the title track and the anti-supermarket rant Smash The Tesco.
There's the Ramonesian rockabilly of You Don't Know Anything At All, the murderous and sinister HPV Cowboy and the Hawaiian kitsch of Moonlight Swim (originally a 1957 hit for Anthony 'Psycho' Perkins and later for Elvis).
The first single is a faithful cover of The Knife's Pass This On featuring drums and marimba by DJ Don Bonebrake.

On top of this he even finds time to follow some C&W trails on Marfa Lights and Rawhide Moon, then gets all Tom Petty for You Gotta Get Mad To Get Thing.
Eclectic is the word and where your head is at when it's all done depends on how in tune you are to this man's twisted logic. Mine hurts.
