While I won't go so far as to say it's gonna be one the best of the year,
I agree that this is a fine release. Some really nice, dark edges to it
that you don't usually get from the Cup of Tea camp. 

And it's especially good when you consider that it's basically the same
line-up as Federation, who release one of the worst slabs of shite that
Cup of Tea has ever unloaded. (Although I heard from a friend who saw
Federation live in Montreal last week that they absolutely *smoke* on
stage).
