Overall though, the album is dominated by a frothing, busy energetic rack of latin percussion - hard and driving and punchy - that recalls Santana, but it's less funky and hip-swinging and more amphetamine-driven, the uptempo arrangements mashing the congas and bongos with the characteristic Quicksilver platinum-cascading lead guitar. Many of the songs are about prison, possibly based on Valente's own drug-bust penal experiences: titles like "Doin Time in the USA", "Forty Days" and "California State Correctional Facility Blues", giving the album a thematic core that is broken up by songs like the aforementioned "Changes" and the strutting "Chicken". Imagine early Santana meshed with the uptempo r'n'b-blues cuts from the first Steppenwolf album and you'll have a good idea of what this record is like....except it is better than both, less precious and more original, not trying too hard to be anything other than itself.
