Конкретно Mekong Delta, в отличие от Holy Moses, старались идти менее брутальным путем, делая большой акцент на влиянии классической музыки, благодаря чему еще на дебютном альбоме породили своеобразный поджанр, сочетая, казалось бы, невозможное. Однако, еще с альбома "Kaleidoscope" уклон в сторону Progressive становился всё более увесистым, а Thrash Metal составляющая начинала сходить на нет.

Вывод: данный релиз даже сам Пиви называет очень слабым альбомом. Что ж, действительно, он заметно уступает прошлому альбому “XIII”. Может, перемены в составе так повлияли на настроение диска? Так или иначе, пока эксперименты с оркестром закончились...

Множество старых и известных хитов, как из 70-ых, так и из "глэмстерской" эпохи музыкантов, представлены здесь в совершенно потрясающих аранжировках. Также не обошлось и без воскрешения нескольких совсем забытых песен типа "Coming Home", "Plaster Caster" или вообще, "I See You Tonite" с сольника Джина. Плюс - на четырех последних номерах к группе присоединяются-таки Питер и Эйс! Казалось бы, следует здесь закончить разговоры, поставить заслуженную десятку и все. Ан нет, господа! Оценка снижается на балл, а то и на все два. Знаете почему? Продолжительность этого диска - 50 минут. Продолжительность концерта в Нью-Йорке - два с половиной часа!

Recorded while on tour in UK November 1993.
