The recurring theme on the album deals with lyrics about world issues and self-consciousness, along with several jazz instrumentals that made the album a success in the band's native country, the UK. The album produced several well-received singles, including "Too Young To Die" and "Blow Your Mind". The album was listed at number 23 in the music reference book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die.
