Review

The Roches' third album retained the services of producer Robert Fripp (instrumental in their stunning debut release), who brought along fellow King Crimson mates Tony Levin and Bill Bruford for the session. The trio reaches their full power on the title track, "Keep On Doing What You Do/Jerks on the Loose." Here, they seem unfettered musically and willing to delve into their real lyrical strength: the clear, piercing gaze into a uniquely contemporary conundrum. ~ Brian Olewnick, All Music Guide
