Album Notes & Community Reviews

Operating under the Swan Song label umbrella, the veteran British act attempted to refine their hard-edged progressive tendencies into accessible, arena-oriented anthems. The record is characterized by tight harmonies, layered studio production, and a noticeable shift toward the sophisticated pop-rock sound dominating mid-70s FM radio.
