For me it's probably their weakest album. It lacks any real depth or coherence – it doesn't sound like an album. I get what they were going for, the whole European icy sheen thing, but I don't think they pulled it off.

Highlights for me are The Next Jet To Leave Moscow and Between The Clock And The Bed, although the latter is too short.

Let's Go To War, SPLAM and the title track are almost embarrassingly bad, and the two instrumentals would be B-sides in most other eras. Europa Geht Durch Mich is just annoying.

I loved RTF by the way.
