Das Album wurde während den Tourvorbereitungen als eine Art Training mit den Live Gastmusikern eingespielt. Der Stress war dermaßen groß und so entschlossen sich die drei Stammmitglieder die Zeit des gemeinsamen Probens nicht nur als Einspielen für die anstehende UK Tour zu sehen, sondern auch um ein neues und lange versprochenes Album einzuspielen. Das es quasi ein Nebenprodukt ist, kann ich zu keiner Zeit ausmachen; hier höre ich Spielfreude pur. Die Jungs haben über 4000 Gigs gespielt und werden in England als eine der besten Live Bands gehandelt.
Zum Album.
Schon der Opener "Just Came Back", der aus der Feder von Colin James stammt, zeigt wohin die musikalische Reise des 9. Albums führt. Es wird gerockt was die Klampfen hergeben. Es gibt sehr gute Blues Rock Cover von namhaften Musikern, die aber von den Nagetieren auf ihre eigene Art und Weise musikalisch interpretiert werden. Als Hendrix und ZZ Top noch ihr Hauptfeld war, konnte man die Klasse jedes einzelnen Musikers hören; hier wagen sie sich endlich auch an Musiker wie „Mickey Jupp“ oder „Colin James“. Das zeigt deutlich auf, dass ihre Bandbreite viel größer ist, als viele vermuten. Über die einzelnen Stücke muss ich nichts weiter schreiben; es ist Spaßmucke, die jedes Tanzbein wippen lässt.
