Personnel

Reception

Joe Shooman of Record Collector awarded the album 4/5 and wrote "Mind Over Matter's sleazy rockabilly nightmares and Captain Beefheart-channeling psychedelic detours are entirely keeping with the group's '80s records". [1] Uncut also rated the album 4/5 and said "This Terrific follow-up is even better, the quartet unloading a clamorous set of songs full of pique, provocation and waspish humour". [2]
