This album opens with the early brit pop sound mixed with keyboard based track "Life of Riley" , the song best known for being on "Match of the day" as the goal of the month competitions music during the early 90's, talks not of football. The song is a song about the Ian Broudies's (the guy on the album cover and lead singer) son Riley. A soft vocal performance that has you wanting to hear more, but yet not quite blown away to the extent where you'd go out and buy the album for the one song. The lyrics are nice enough but their no Dylan, just like simple easy poetry. 8/10.

"Fools" fills the third position on the CD a nice start to the song that has you tapping your feet right through the intro, when Broudies voice kicks in you automatically feel happier. The dream like sounds of the previous song continues here just with a slightly different feel, maybe a slightly let down feel. This song seems to ditch the strong electronica sounds and focus more on the fundemental guitar, with a nice bit of electronic sounds weaving the way in and out. Another above average song but again fails to hit the dizzy heights of some of the 'Seed's parst song's. 8/10

"control the flame" follows another techno-ish track this time with Broudie's voice singing out above the music. The lyrics give away a pretty story that has you swinging your hips in time to the beat. The chorus gets you almost wanting to dance, whilst the verses have you hypnotised into listening. Easily the best track so far for overall feel and the way it gets you feeling though not quite perfection it's a far better song than the previous one. 9/10

"Persuasion" is the seventh track on the album a simple "tip-tappy" sound over a strong lead beat, makes the song sound simple yet also complex, maybe too many layers of simple music. The vocals again sound, but not as soft as some of the earlier songs, sing again such simple lyrics, with you wanting to join in as you imagine soft images of ships and sky's and the stars. A wonderful peice but not as amazing as it could be, again feels like it's mising the "it" factor that some songs need. 8/10

"Flaming sword" opens with a pacey happy sounding keyboard with is continued (the happy feel) from the vocals when Broudie starts singing, with multi-layerd vocals being used well. The lyrics again throw images into your head of both thoughts and pictures. The "flute" sound despite sounding out of place also sounds brilliant, the over-all flow and style make this one of the albums best songs. 9/10
