The madness of these three lads had already been well demonstrated with This is the Album of a Band Called Adebisi Shank and its worthy follow-up This is the Second Album of a Band Called Adebisi Shank. Who knows what the third album could ever have been called, in the name of originality? Well, it's a good thing they're not as original with the actual albums! Instead, their skill is put under the magnifying glass thanks to the craziness that has distinguished them from the start. Madness is all well and good, but in an electronic key! Yes, in an electronic key, it works even better! Eight tracks and a final outro, almost all in the spirit of psychedelic robot-rock. It starts with two pieces that make the tone of the album clear, World in Harmony and Big Unit, then continues towards digressions that go beyond mere psychedelia. Among these are the carnivalesque Mazel Tov, of an undefinable genre, with restrained hints of sax as a backdrop to a pleasant midtempo beat; Sensation, a classic dance track spiced with the irresistible madness of the group's electronics; Voodoo Vision, which when listened to seems just like a crazy music box, but seen live in studio on YouTube perfectly conveys the idea of the hard work on guitar distortion and the creation of original melodies on keyboards, always with filtered vocals in the foreground. Another very fun piece is the crazy race of Turnaround. However, a touch of bitterness remains as one understands the message the last track wishes to convey to the listeners: Trio Always, "even though the band will break up, we will always remain the trio we have been." However, this hint of disappointment should not affect the excellent result of a band at the peak of its artistic maturity, an album that knows how to surprise and entertain at the same time. Almost perfect.
