After what seems like an eternity since their last release, Mascara comes out kicking and screaming with a rocking new release that covers more musical ground in the first ten minutes than most Boston bands cover in their entire career. Always theatrical and flamboyant, only Mascara can do a heavy rock tune followed by a campy romp and then head into heady psychedelic territory while still maintaining a unique identity. Chris Mascara does some interesting vocal acrobatics throughout this recording evoking the spirits Lennon, Mercury, and Buckley. Having seen this lineup perform a few times, I must say this is probably the most concise line-up Mascara has had, which includes Chris Gerard on bass and Rikki Bates on drums. Sadly, this album is way too short. I hope we'll get to hear more soon.
