Not as highly regarded as
Only a Lad or
Dead Man's Party,
Good for Your Soul may have been underrated in the
Boingo canon. While there are moments where Elfman and company are straining a little ("Wake Up (It's 1984)"), there are other moments where the band is in full flight and at the top of their form -- "What Do You Want to Be?" gets the album off to a roaring start, "Cry of the Vatos" is a very warped anthem, and "No Spill Blood," inspired by George Orwell's Animal Farm, is a chilling, thundering commentary... ~ Steven McDonald
