Volume
4 is a stunning comeback for one of the classic bands of the
post-punk era: Jackson (vocals and keyboards), Gary Sanford
(guitar), Graham Maby (bass), and Dave Houghton (drums). Produced
by Jackson, the album strongly echoes the band's early work,
without straining to imitate it. The all-new compositions
merge the early albums' raw rock'n'roll energy and barbed
lyrical wit with the emotional depth and musical sophistication
of Joe's later work. |
