I haven't like a thing by this band since they parted ways with Dave King and to be honest when I saw a new album in 2011 I felt disappointed before I even looked into who was in the band this time around. Once I read Toby Jepson was singing on the album I though ok lets here what he was able to get out of Eddie who hasn't had a good song idea in twenty years. The trouble is no matter how good Jepson is in other projects he can't save this band name from Eddie Clarks terrible songwriting.The album is devoid of boogie and the uptempo hard rocking guitar driven music we once got from this band. The blues based music is somewhat present but it isn't good blues at all. The song "Love I Need" is one of the best tunes of the eleven present and it's nothing more than a 99th rate tune. By the time you get to the last track and hear what resembles a classic era sound from the name Fastway I'm so bored and wishing for this to be over that I don't care if the song is passable album filler. If you have money to burn get a match and actually burn it because it will be of better use than purchasing this piece of shit. Toby Jepson can't save this version of a band that's never lived up to their first two albums. Fast Eddie Clark is almost as big a joke as Tony Iommi with all the crap versions of Black Sabbath he's formed over the years since Ozzy and Ronnie moved on. Actually that's not fair Clark is twice the joke any formation of Black Sabbath was after Dio left.
Stay away from this crap!
