«Свечение умирающего Солнца» отнюдь не обжигает нас, а наоборот, заковывает в холодные цепи обреченности. Возвышенные, величественные гитарные пассажи подхватывают наше сознание и уносят его в бескрайные просторы безысходности. С двумя альбомами в анамнезе Jack Frost в достаточной мере отточили своё мастерство, чтобы выдать зрелый, полновесный релиз. Гулкая, раскатистая ритм-секция неторопливо, но неотвратимо превращает окружающий нас мир в агонизирующее, растоптанное полотно. Вокал Фреда Финистера, протяжный, надменный и язвительный, но в то же время красивый и низкий, льёт в уши приторный яд (к слову, наиболее ярко его потенциал раскрылся в «Lady In Black» - кавере на Urian Heep – преображённом до неузнаваемости).

"The Deviant Chord" – это настоящий манифест металла, состоящий из 10 песен, в которых присутствуют все сильные стороны JAG PANZER.

After cutting his teeth as bass player and one of the founding members of Dire Straits, Illsley has also released a steady stream of solo material, an output that, although never rushed, has been critically acclaimed. Undertaking lead vocal, acoustic guitar and bass duties on all of the album’s eight tracks, Illsley’s unmistakable sound, approach to arrangement and song writing is paired with his faultless lyrical storytelling. A departure from the previous album’s themes of personal trials and tribulations, Illsley comments that the lyrical content pertains to “the obvious political and social elements which have always concerned me.”

"Turbo Lover" - вопреки своей традиции группа обошлась без скоростной, мощной композиции в начале альбома. Мы слышим среднетемповой хэви, с синтезаторными гитарами и обилием модных электронных вставок. Песня обладает мрачноватой атмосферой, которая выделяет её на фоне жизнерадостного альбома. Также следует отметить великолепный припев и гитарное соло и удачную задумку с постепенным усилением и утяжелением песни. Песня по праву является лучшей на альбоме и до сих пор регулярно исполняется на концертах. На песню был снят видеоклип в двух вариантах: с участием группы и без неё.
