I dug into the archives to give good'ole "Angel Rat" - Voivod a pair of fresh ears. There are a
couple of turkeys on there(yes, including "Angel Rat" the title track with the awful opening
lyric_the idiot walks along the canvass_, "Twin Dummy", "None Of The Above"...just awful).
However, everything after the track "Angel Rat" is prime Voivod(in their psych-era)...and the
opener "Short Wave Intro/Panorama" !@#$%^&' rocks! "Clouds In My House" is an alternative
classic with a great video to boot! Sounding more Rush than ever(due to Terry Brown's
involvement as producer). A darker mood prevails which sets it apart from the previous
mechanical sounding Nothingface. "Angel Rat" is another transitional album which would
move Voivod forward into the prog.rock masterpiece known as "The Outer Limits' from 1993.
