The 10th studio album from this band from USA.
The band was a quartet with a lineup of drums, percussion, bass, guitars, keyboards and vocals.
Two guests added harmonica, saxophone and backing female vocals.
The band trundled on, album after album. They never became a huge band. They still had considerable success and were operating on a level a bit below The Eagles, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin.
Their music and lyrics had been pretty light and carefree up to now. That changed with this album.
The lyrics is dark here. Ditto for the music. We are still in the hard rock and arena rock genres. But the band has lost this youthful optimism and is more reflecting on death, politics and diseases.
The music is hard at times. There is no hit single on this album and there is no really good piece of music here. There is no really poor piece of music here either.
The result is a decent album. It is workman like album too. Check it out if 1970s hard rock is your thing.
