Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

Presenting oneself in the raw, the utter abandonment of masks and paraphernalia, is to be open to the elements, other human criticism and witticisms and the looks of derision, yet ultimately it is arguably the most natural and compelling action to undertake. In art, music, poetry, the conquering of metaphorical mountains are always more appreciated when the artist allows the mask to be gently placed down beside them and the truth of their face and emotions to be revealed.
