This is interesting. I always thought Atomic Bomb was the album where things started to go creatively sideways for Bonovox, Edge, and the boys. Little they have done since that album has resonated with me.
This compilation of cast-offs from the Atomic Bomb sessions shows they had much more creatively interesting stuff in the can that sadly ended up getting shelved. This is a band at their best when they are daring, not playing it safe.
I’d listen to this again easily before firing up Atomic Bomb, which, outside of Vertigo, is forgettable.
