The fourth album from this band from Scotland.
The band was a quintet with a lineup of drums, percussion, bass, guitars, harpsichord, mellotron, moog, piano, organ and vocals.
I think the cover art-work gives away the game here. And indeed, it does.
After three symphonic prog albums, the band does a big about turn, one hundred and eighty degrees, and goes in a totally different direction.
US rock with a lot of hard rock and southern rock influences is what we get here.
The vocals is muscular and dominates the music. The music is simple and not exciting at all.
The music is bereft of any interesting details.
The songs are only half decent. The instrumental Classical Gas, a cover version no less of a melody from the 1960s USA, is the only saving grace here.
This album is a disappointment.
1.5 points
