John Feldmann's tight and furious vocals are strongly reminiscent of former Crue frontman Vince Neil's vocal stylings on earlier Crue classics. Pompous and energetic attitude bound by limited vocal range created Neil's signature force and inspire Feldmann's own performance, most notably on the opening track, "Tribal Monkey...
...these references would seem rather a heavy load for small clay objects to carry, but one of the virtues of Price's work is that it never seems pompous and only rarely trivial.

Trigorin traditionally comes across as pompous rather than disillusioned, as he is here; while an unusual choice, it is not necessarily...
