They are a force to be reckoned with when it comes to gut-wrenching rock and roll. Since 1995 they have been dishing out their brand of blues-based hard rock in lethal doses. Sometimes they move into a more psychedelic phase, other times more Humble Pie/Free or with Moanin' a hard rock almost heavy metal fury. This record picks up some of the more aggressive moments of Deep and even Heavy Soul, packages them all into one cohesive unit and shovels it in your head for sheer overload. An all out assault on the senses is the best way to describe this masterpiece complete with some mood-setting sound bytes. There�s the string arrangements that begin and end the record, the rain effects on "Jack the Ripper", and the acoustic whiplash in "Devil Wind".

Undeniable is the thunderous rhythm section courtesy of bassist Marcus Blake and new drummer Matt Tecu � a primeval support to the dangerous riffs of master Jim Wilson. Wilson has a voice made for rock and roll, gruff, raspy and full of passion - at times he can sound like Chris Cornell or a white Jimi Hendrix. And the riffs keep coming� There are the massive Kinks� hooks and some serious garage nastiness. AC/DC meets Montrose back the hard rock attack when the volume goes up. There�s even a bit of UFO undercurrent heard. Comparisons aside Mother Superior may have just delivered the record of their career. They have kept the songs memorable with attention to song craft, passionate lyrics and exquisite musicianship.
