This album is a kaleidoscope of soundscapes swooping and soaring seamlessly through a number of distinct genres - From Anastasia-like power-pop / funky soul to RATM / Red Hot Chilli Pepper-esque, attitude-dripping rap, This CD has something for everyone! Dig deeper than the cool musical veneer and you'll be touched by the depth and social awareness of the lyrics - some heavy stuff is covered by this album, from drug addiction (Red Hot) and physical abuse (Running), to lamenting the ridiculous "politically correct", litigation-hungry society (Snapshots) we all now live in.

As I was brought up on a staple diet of heavy metal and psychedelic rock, this ready-for-the-mainstream collection of diversely flavoured tracks shouldn't really appeal to me - BUT THEY DO!!! The talent and intensity of Dana Shellmire & her band demands you to listen to this CD from start to finish on a daily basis, so get yourself a copy and go listen to it NOW!!
