Although some songs seem like they go for a bit too much, others are well structured, with the sound progressing as you listen. Overall, very enjoyable album.
Favourite songs: Return to Patagonia, The Curse of Ka'Zar
Least favourites: Ramblin' Man, Closer

Favourite tracks: Back on a Mission, Stop & Panic, Captain Cock, Time's Running Out
Least Favoutire: Soul Blast
