That's a good thing, as the late Crane was in search of new and exciting directions in which to take his artistry. So the overall sound as well as more than a few of the lyrics bears little in common with Rooster's previous work. Here Crane goes for a largely electronic recording lots of synths and flourishes. But that's not really important call it what you will. "Although "Headline News" is an Atomic Rooster album, and the last studio one, some fans consider it more of a Vincent Crane solo album.
