Where this album fits

Career context
Released in 2000, 'Left Hand Drive' marked The Angels' return after a hiatus following their 1998 album 'Skin and Bone'. At this point, they were seeking to re-establish their presence in the hard rock scene that had evolved significantly since their peak in the late 1970s and 1980s.
