At first I wasnt so impressed with this cd. I was kinda living in the past of Living Targets which is one the greatest albums I own, but this album grew on me, what Smack Smash lacks, this album has in strides...Smack Smash to me sounds like a band in the middle of change, and Limbo Messiah fully shows the change. I suggest picking up Living Targets and Limbo Messiah so you can hear the old great BeatSteaks and the new great Beatsteaks.
