The blues riffs of opening track ‘The Show’ doesn’t quite gel with the rest of what the band are trying to do – and the media montage opening on serves to confuse matters even further. Are the Surgents trying to infuse too many ideas into one song?
Much better is ‘Calls in the Night’ which flows much easier as a song, probably because it is a much better written track. This is followed by ‘Terra Mater’ which is also a much more simplified proposition, but also very different fromt ‘Calls..’ The pattern here seems to suggest that simplified, no matter what the style, works best for this group. This is further strengthened by the piano led ‘Talk Talk.’
There is indeed quality in the little wantity here, But that all important opening track needs to be replaced, fast!
