[edit] Track listing
All tracks written by Dugmore/Harper/Hogarth/Woore.
- "A.E.I.O.U."
- "Recognition"
- "Innocence"
- "Spirit of Youth"
- "American People"
- "Kingdom Come"
The song "Kingdom Come" strives to be chilling, eerie and prophetic. The beat is much slower than that of a typical rock song, and even slower than a typical reggae beat. The lyrics, dealing with a more serious issue than their other songs (the inequality and injustice of capitalism) include these phrases: "They realize something terrifying / They know why we've been going so wrong."
[edit] Personnel
- Colin Woore - guitar, backing vocals
- Steve Hogarth - synthesizer, vocals
- Ferg Harper - bass guitar, lead vocals
- Geoff Dugmore - drums, percussion, backing vocals
