Customer Reviews:

Let's set the record straight (or flat, perhaps).......2006-09-21

Not necessarily the holy grail of hard rock, but damn fine and solid throughout. Very good songwriting, sense of dynamics and sense of overall heaviness. Not like the over the top metal stuff of recent years. Recommended for fans of midwest heavy rock with a somewhat prog twist ca. 60s-70s ala SRC, Third Power, etc. I prefer the MC5, Stooges, etc., but this is a cool listen nonetheless.

agree with reviewer above.......2004-03-01

i wholeheartidly agree with the above reviewer!..i was looking forward to this as well...but was wholly underimpressed!...i think monster records hype things beyond belief and all that i've gotten has failed to light any fire!..can't hold a candle to similar underground 70's acts like blues creation,night sun,bedemon,buffalo,etc!..pass on this one ERGO!

Authentic 70s blues based hard rock guitar classic!.......2003-07-04

I think this is a great slab of authentic 70s hard rock 'n roll obviously inspired by the likes of Jeff Beck, Cream, Hendrix and the blues. There's even a hint of complexity ala Rush to be found here. The heavy Gibson/Marshall 70s sound just dominates this thing and sets it's hooks in you right from the start! This is easily one of my favorites among the rare U.S. hard rock records from the 70s. Great to see it on CD finally. Check it out!

Very overated album.......2003-01-28

I will be honest, I was completely looking forward to this disc arriving when I ordered it from Monster records. I had read a lot about it, and am a huge fan of heavy psych rock, especially the obscure stuff from the early to mid 70's. Looking at the cover and reading reviews, I was sure this will be a heavy monster rock winner.

Boy was I wrong!! This release is lame. It has some instances where they rock, but overall it is boring, and the songs go nowhere. The vocals are incredibly lacking of power, and the heavyness for the most part just is not there. This is the only cd that I have from this time period and this style that I have since sold. Don't believe the hype on this one!!
