Family's second album belies the silliness depicted on the cover, which was a low-budget spoof on The Doors' Strange Days. The psychedelic theme and framework of the debut record is gone, and we are left with a somewhat disconnected collection of songs, skewed heavily toward "The Weaver's Answer", a wonderful dramatic reading which tracks a man's life from birth to death. The rest of the album is hit-and-miss although varied, with bassist Rick Grech's songwriting contributions bringing in a bit of a playful jolt next to Chapman and Whitney's ever more increasingly sober works. A far worse fate awaited the band on their follow-up U.S. tour, which was simply disastrous, resulting in Grech exiting the group in favor of super group Blind Faith.
