Album che riesce a far breccia negli ambienti culturali delle università americane. Produttore e Virgin scartarono Dear God (per via del testo che secondo Partridge avrebbe dovuto essere un chiodo ficcato nella gola della gente) per poi inserirla nelle più recenti copie. L'ospite alla batteria in questo album è Praire Prince.

Nonostante i burrascosi rapporti con il produttore Todd Rundgren, Gregory lo considera l'album più significativo del gruppo.
