Album Notes & Community Reviews

Transitioning out of their highly influential psychedelic era, the veteran British rockers signed to Warner Bros. and delivered a diverse, highly melodic set of early 70s rock. The album effectively balances intricate, harmony-laden pop structures with bursts of driving hard rock, showcasing Phil May's enduring vocal prowess. While lacking the conceptual ambition of their previous masterworks, it remains a finely crafted, overlooked entry in their extensive discography.
