No, it's not the wasted Waysted circa 1986 but an efficient, updated version of today. I saw them on tour and they still smoke! Strong vocals, tight drumming, expressive guitar and the usual from Mr Way is as one would expect. Traditional heavy blues/hard rock, the way it should be done. Recommended.

Listening to this CD is like going through a time warp. Pete Way & Fin seem like they've been recording together over the past twenty years they've been apart. This originally started with Paul Chapman on guitar,put since he is a whiner,they brought in a newcomer named Chris George. And believe me,he blows P.C. away.Drumming on five of the eight new tracks is Scott Phillips,who also drums in the Pete Way Band. Paul Haslin handles drums on the other three tracks. If you are a fan of the original Waysted, this will not disappoint.Songs like Alternativa & Breakfast Show are classic Waysted Rock-N-Roll.Hopefully they'll get the passport issue solved and come to the U.S. and do some live shows.It would be something to see!Long live the reunited Waysted!

The album has a poor sound to it and the new guitar parts are spliced in, they are just aweful. Paul Chapman should have stayed around but it did not work out.

I agree with DOJO's review below, except that 2 stars is generous. Firstly, I love these guys and although Fin's scratchy voice is an acquired taste, the old stuff was fab. Who knows what the real story is, but Chris George's guitar sound or the production job is/are woeful. It sounds like George just mailed it in from ProTools. Check out Chapman's wesbite for the real sounds. The shame of it all is that this could have been a good/great album. Sigh....

A weak waysted cd.Doesnt compare to SYP cd or The good the bad the waysted.No Paul Chapman on lead.Save your money and buy Save your Prayers new release or UFO new cd,You are Here.A long wait for a weak cd.Chapmans release on his web site.Much better leads.
