Album Notes & Community Reviews
Widely considered the defining pioneer of the twin-lead guitar harmony, Wishbone Ash reached their absolute zenith with this remarkably epic, historically infused triumph. 'Argus' is an incredibly melodic, beautifully pastoral progressive rock classic, weaving fiercely triumphant hard rock interplay with deeply poetic, heavily medieval fantasy and folk-rock mythology.
