This is the record where the Oils started to figure out who they were: faster, tighter, more focused than the debut, and already carrying the politically charged energy that would come to define the band. It peaked at number 36 on the Kent Music Report and went gold by mid-1980.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCold Cold Change, Back On The Borderline, Section 5 (Bus To Bondi). These are the songs that broke Midnight Oil through to a wider Australian audience, built on Rob Hirst's driving drums, the twin guitars of Jim Moginie and Martin Rotsey, and Peter Garrett's vocal delivery starting to find its political edge. It was also the last Oils album to feature founding bassist Andrew James, who left the band due to illness shortly after.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePressed on 180 gram heavyweight black vinyl, remastered for this reissue.
