It could certainly do with some more rockers, yeah. It is an overtly moody record.
However, I find Hey God to be a bit too shouty and weirdly 90s by now. The guitar tone is very much of that era (as is Slippery's), and AFAIR there's not a whole lot of bass. I dug the "heaviness" of tracks such as If I Was Your Mother much better, especially since that one also had a chorus that played to the band's core strengths.
