Rating: 3 out of 5 – Kompetent
Formats: Three-track 12-inch with poster fanzine (‘Lie (edit)’/’Space Dye Vest’/Take the Time’)
Four-track CD (‘Lie (edit)’/’Space Dye Vest’/’To Live Forever’/’Another Day (live)’)
The New Yorkers start well with the weighty ‘Lie’. Then the B-sides descend, sounding like bad Helloween outtakes. Not so much a dream as a nightmare.
