I bought this album the week it came out because I read that it featured extensively one of my all time favorite guitarists, Robert Quine (cf. Richard Hell and the Voidoids or Lou Reed's THE BLUE MASK).  And indeed, one of the reasons this album is so extraordinary is Quine's absolutely blistering guitar work (though ex-Television guitarist Richard Lloyd plays lead on the equally blistering "Divine Intervention"), which contrasts magnificently with Sweet's superb songs.  Without Quine, however, the songs might be a bit too sweet (bad pun intended), a fault of some of his other albums.  But without the great songs, there would be nothing for Quine to play against.
