    Here's some wild, punky Hard Rock with the Australian-accented vocals that make one reminisce about the early days of Punk. "Don't Throw Out The Babies (or is it called Bath Water?)" typifies this smart-aleck, tongue-in-cheek anger on this album. Something that will probably offend a lot of people, though, is the inclusion of the cussword label "a**hole" (if you can believe that) in the song "Castle Built On Sand". The production is clean and the guitar sounds, whether they be hallow Punk or Country twang, come through high in the mix. Fans of scaterd-few might appreciate some of the almost mocking vocal delivery, but they aren't given in the theatrical/passionate way that Ramald brings to his craft. Overall, a good novelty album and actual listening material for a small group of Punk aficionados.
