Tea - The Ship (1975)

The second album from this band from Switzerland.

The band was a quintet with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, keyboards and vocals.

The second album of in total three albums released in the '70s and one archives album release thirty years later.

Tea is where Marc Storace from Krokus and solo-career debuted and found his wings. He found his wings on the debut album from Tea who I reviewed earlier this week. A pretty good hard rock album.

Then we get this "difficult 2nd album" syndrome and Tea became a victim of this album.

Take hard rock, soul, disco, rock and arena rock. When the songs are pretty poor and the only remotely decent thing is the vocals.... well, the result is very poor. But not even Marc Storace's vocals can save this album. The disco stuff here is so cringe-worthy that most of my muscles around my heart is really aching. Muscles now needing lots of tender loving care.  

This album is a turkey and that really disappoints me after the rather promising debut album.

1 point
