Album Notes & Community Reviews

Arriving precisely when the Boston band was reeling from heavy drug use and pivotal member departures, this release summarizes their dominant 1970s stadium-rock prime. The hit-heavy tracklist codified their sleazy, blues-driven swagger, sustaining their relevance in the marketplace until their eventual late-80s comeback.
