Meandering, free jazz fusion. Just so much wanking going on - does not hold my attention. Feels more like a zappa / mothers album that the tight and driving machine that is typical for most of Weather Report's catalog. Band feel out of control and almost amateurish at times.
Recording / pressing can get sibilant at times.
