Customer Reviews A little raw.... "Revenge" is rather brutal (though rather mild next to Attempted Mustache's "Clockwork Chartreuse"), "Ingenue" is lecherous and "April Fools Day Morn" rather pathetic. This is a good album but some of the tracks are a little raw, as it were. But as with all good LW3 material, even these songs have humor to take the edge off (or add it, as needed). As I said, it's a good album. The artist would do increasingly better from here, however. (This album is from 1982, by the way, not 1989. ). A Must for All Committed LWIII Fans You will get your money's worth many, many times over. Although not his finest album, this one is still very good and is a definite "must" for anyone who is a die-hard Loudon fan (like me). .
