Relentless.
This rides huge, block-rocking beats and the same basic squonky techno sound in loops and loops, peppers in drum fills, beat drops, synth builds, all on the same basic relentless backbeat backbeat backbeat backbeat. This is music for raving the fuck out to, and it pulls no punches for six tracks
Then, suddenly, you get your chillout comedown circa the airy Chico's Groove, into the downright downtempo One Too Many Mornings, and on through some more experimental, buzzy, samply, vocally territory.
Decidedly a two-sided album, with the first half being the stronger, serving as an unflinching bareknuckle mission statement. The second half shows some nice tricks, but ones that were bettered by their later albums (disclosure: I've always had a weird soft spot for Surrender). Come for the huge beats, wander out during the comedown set whenever you're ready to start partying again 3/5
