Secondo demotape datato 1993 che porterà in seguito il giovane combo a convincere la Burning Heart Records a metterli sotto contratto, per la successiva creazione di due mini cd e dopo del primo full-length. Etichetta questa, che ancora oggi licenzia i loro lavori sul mercato europeo.
Qui si possono ascoltare Sarkevic e compagni ai primordi della loro carriera e captare già quella propensione per le sonorità hardcore di matrice melodica, che il gruppo riproporrà nei successivi tre dischi di studio.
Da un primo ascolto si evince subito una maggiore pulizia sonora, che va a migliorare di molto quella del primo demo "Goofy".
Il lavoro è composto da sette tracce, di cui poi alcune verranno successivamente riprese nella raccolta "The Melancholy Collection" (1999).
Si segnalano la piacevole e diretta "Planet Earth" probabilmente la migliore, non mancano gli esperimenti vagamente ska che vanno sotto la voce "The Tame" che presenta un mood e degli effetti distorsivi della voce da slego.
"Melancholy Protection" e "A Bit Of Muslin" sono tra le canzoni più brevi e senza fronzoli mai scritte dagli svedesi.
In definitiva documento utile e buona riscoperta, anche per farsi un'idea di com'erano i Millencolin nel pieno della loro giovinezza.

01 Melack ()
So what if I don't understand
I'll always be an equal man to myself
I don't know who he is, I don't know what he thinks
But he gives me a sign, I wanna read all the unknown lines
There's a man outside my window, he has no control
When I travel deep, it's like a mystic sleep
I got my feet on the ground
I'm on my way to the unknown land
Now it's time to get concrete
Feel the inside of me deep
when he calls me I won't open up the door
Oh, will I have the chance to rule my life like before
02 Melancholy Protection ()
Things you never would have told aren't secrets anymore
Today you talk about that time when your mind was really sore
Now I know why you have been thinking about the other side
You never thought that it would happen and now you have lost your pride
Going up going down, sometimes I feel the same way as you do,
You feel to scream you feel to cry
Melancholy protection
You've got to move on
You are chanceless to find the warmth again
You are chanceless but can't forget what happened then.
03 A Bit of Muslin ()
I see her eating maggots and I think it's cool
I watch her as she throws up
She's a bit of muslin, a vitriolic nasty girl
mysterious in every way, moving like a swirl
Fly guys surrounds her, hoping she will be their girl
But this sphinx is a notion
And no man will ever get to her
I want her to recall the stuff that she might have missed
I need her to be my stash
07 An Elf and His Zippo ()
Receive a slicky effort, avoid mental disaster
pollute attempt to trap a breed authority
So long, Mr. Turtle shrimp threatened by all the advance
port supply protect caused by pollution
Don't let go, without any reason
Cause in the end you won't let go
You still have to know that I have all this struggles
In a life that is wasted
And now I search for a way
In a life that is wasted
Pull back a giant tree with a hand that's full of fire
I see it's covered all by grain, it's least a struggle
I am controlled by pity and I walk the streets at night
I see a twinkling star and I wish that I was as bright as you
It's your right to strife for the justice
It's your right to strife for the truth
08 Flippin' Beans ()
I got a plan for you and I
I wanna take you to for this ride
Across the flippin' beans
I'll sit and wait for you and me
I want and I feel
That piece of you
That I see that's for me
You say you really hate it too
You say you wanna take a highgrip
Inhale gasoline
You sit and wait for you and me
Stranger in a strange land
That's what I am
You turn away from me, it's like, boom and bam
I got to see you, cause you blew my mind
And now you gonna die, so don't ask why
