The rest of the songs on this Chicago trio's debut are equally angular in approach. Passionate, discordant, taking the hard road around, coupled with a string section that often softens the sonic wallop, this disc crosses between beauty and the bizarre as if The Fall locked horns with Rachel's. In dissolving the rhythmic force, deadening the Bo Diddley beat in their cover of "Who Do You Love?," The Fire Show then reckon with Bo's lyrics in a most unnatural way (and believe me, they know Bo). While I didn't like this at first, I soon found it to be bewitching and intense like those early Birthday Party albums, where the loudest sound became my skin crawling. Tantalizing.
