EXTD=ic album in the Hoodoo Gurus' catalog and doesn't reflect the sne

EXTD= be funny to get over; Dave Faulkner even seems to enjoy having t
EXTD=he opportunity to play it straight on the politically slanted "In
EXTD= the Middle of the Land," and the band rarely rocked as hard as t
EXTD=hey did on the tunes here where they throw the engine into fifth 
EXTD=gear. Blow Your Cool! is in some respects a compromised Hoodoo Gu
EXTD=rus album, but it's strong enough to prove that these guys could 
EXTD=make a worthwhile album even while playing by someone else's rule
