McIntyre, Treadmore and Davitt

Critical reception

• Stewart Mason, Allmusic: "ven though the songs are both slower and longer, that cosmetic change only gave singer/songwriter Nigel Blackwell a broader canvas for his increasingly complex, multi-layered lyrics."
• Danny Scott, Select: "Once wicked wits of the North, HMHB have become rock's sad, old game-show hosts – same suit, same kitsch catchphrase. Only 'Prag Vec At The Melt Vet ' and Christian Rock Concert' show the bristling sarcasm of yore."
