Strengths/Weaknesses/Next Step: It wouldn't be unfair to say that Tricky Woo are living in the wrong time period. They should be gracing the stage with the likes of Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath. Lead singer Andrew Dickson's vocals are reminiscent of the day when Jimi Hendrix walked the earth. Strong chord progressions, heavy basslines and fast rhythms made for excellent musical composition.
