Of all the This Heat records, this 2nd full length is closest to the spiky, angular rock that was around London/Rough Trade at the time, with Charles Bullen & Gareth Williams using more conventional guitar & keys rather than tape loops. There are even some passages that could pass for pop. That said, the band was wound so tight they quickly twitched themselves right out of existence. Charles Hayward, as always, shows laser precision & definitely the only drummer who ever lived who actually benefits from a trebly, compressed sound. Meant to be a concept album about nuclear anxiety, and they do make the anxiety part quite clear. Tracklisting: Sleep, Paper Hats, Triumph, SPQR, Cenotaph, Shrink Wrap, Radio Prague, Makeshift Swahili, Independence, A New Kind of Water, Suffer Bomb Disease.
