The album got a UK release via TB Records and Perris have picked it up for US release. Possibly the final album to feature vocalist Donnie Vie, who has since put out a rather fine solo album. It’s what you’d expect from Enuff Z Nuff - bittersweet lyrics wrapped in gloriously catchy tunes. They have yet to release a real stinker of an album (bar maybe the live album) and they keep the standards up on here.

Highlights? Opener ‘Saturday’ highlights everything great about the band, from the pop rock riff to the dark edged lyrics coupled with big hook filled choruses. Johnny Monaco also rips up a storm on guitar, a worthy addition to the ranks. Plenty of ballads as well like ‘Falling In Love Again’, where piano and guitar blend well. ‘Man Without A Heart’ has more harmony vocals than a Journey record!

Hopefully Donnie Vie will still be involved in some capacity, even just songwriting wise. The band’s next album will be a crucial one in their career that’s for sure.
