Guest mini-review by musician Duane Rutter
As far as the album goes, it’s one of my favourites. Shape I’m In an Stage Fright !! C’mon! But I think it’s Ah La Glory that really gives me the chicken skin! “Ah la glory, I’m second story, feel so tall like a prison wall.” Like “if I’m not on top of the world at least I’m upstairs”.
