Album Notes & Community Reviews
Following their massive commercial breakthrough, the English quartet drafted producer Roy Thomas Baker to helm this bombastic sophomore effort. The resulting sessions yielded an intensely over-the-top stadium rock spectacle, featuring layered Queen-esque vocal harmonies, sitars, and excessive guitar solos that celebrate the hedonism of classic 1970s glam.
