The call and response vocals are upfront and easy to grasp, and organ solos are featured heavily throughout the record. Longtime Fela collaborator \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/turntablelab.mom\/search?q=Tony+Allen\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTony Allen's\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e drumming is on point, adding a good amount of funk to the proceedings. The title track is all about people losing their way and the chaos that comes in their wake. There's a gorilla that finds himself out of the jungle and in the city of Lagos, and a musician who sings only for the deaf. The deaf musician is a caustic personal attack on a fellow Lagosian musician who had stolen one of Fela's girlfriends – the attack extends even onto the original album cover, where this point is literally illustrated.
