The walking bass lines add a true rock and roll feel to this record. In fact some of the more manic lines remind me of John Paul Jones' crazy playing on the Led Zep classic Communication Breakdown. The more thudding quality of the bass dominates tracks like Vultures from Above which shows off an extremely heavy and powerful bass line. Really, the most important aspect of the bass is the energy it adds to the music. With the drums this rhythm section will not leave you bored.

His singing is so full of life that its hard to deny this man rock and roll supremacy. He adds a truly wild feel to the music, keeping it dangerous and unpredictable. In a way his shrieking adds a nice punk feel to a lot of songs. However, there is definitely room for other stuff, with strangely calm vocals on the quiet and calm Movie and Me we see a different side to this singer. The lyrics scream rock and roll, and while some are about parties and being a rock and roller, there can be a more contemplative side. They show the band to be fun loving party goers who like to get philosophical. All in all the singing on this record is excellent and with very rock and roll lyrics this will truly be a blast to the past.
