Rose - Judgement Day (1977)

The fourth and final album from this band from Canada.

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

The band started out as a folk rock band and had next to no success. The 1973 debut album Hooked On A Rose is now in retrospective regarded as a minor classic. 

That does not goes for the rest of their albums.

The band was about to lose their record deal and as a last throw of the dice, the band went commercial rock on Judgement Day. 

The result is a lesson in how a band in desperation made a really bad commercial rock album. The music is a mix of 1970s pop and rock.

There is no really good or even a decent song here. The band then lost the record deal, split up and the four band members then got commercial success in other bands.

This album though is a turkey.
