After scoring big time with Floodland, Sisters of Mercy frontman Andrew Eldritch changed direction once again, heading this time for a guitar-based techno-rock feel. The title track became a club hit, where the driving tempo and distorted guitars provided a perfect dancefloor atmosphere. On &Doctor Jeep& and &Detonation Boulevard,& the lack of variation becomes quickly annoying, however, and &Something Fast& fails entirely in its efforts to be introspective and wistful. The Jim Steinman-produced &More& and the clever &I Was Wrong& are the album's highlights, but it's a shame the rest of the album is so patchy.
