      If you enjoy twin guitars, then listen to this. Many double guitar parts galore and very convincingly so. Also the bassguitar has a very recognizable effervescent touch, quite unusual for a hard-rock band like this is. The level is not very consistent, though. On the positive side there is the infectious drive of the opening Do anything you want to and the grim S&M, this last track boasting a glorious instrumental arrangement and even traces of Arthur Brown's drama. Also the long title track with four divisions is excellently arranged and the guitars glitter and sparkle. On the minus side, there is the much too common sounding Waiting for an alibi and the routine of Get out of here. The production of Visconti does well to separate the instruments clearly, so every single radiant guitar note can be ired.
