Ever expanding mushroom head.......2007-03-22

This album is great, a lost treasure to be sure. I can kinda hear the Led Zep influence some here have cited, I think they sound more like Trapeze during the Medusa era. Early 70's rock, with tasty licks and strong vocals. Great package with extensive liner notes, and history of the band. Recomended

hard rockin' party.......2006-04-06

I recently purchased this cd (not for $24, thank God!). I really like it alot! First off, let's get the Zeppelin comparisons out of the way. Yea, there's a couple of songs here that sound alot like LZ. That being said, if you like Zep 1 and 2, I see no reason you won't enjoy this. One guy said they sound so much like Zep he could fool his friends. His friends aren't too bright! Black Sabbath and Rush (among others) have songs on their first couple of albums that sound alot like early Zep but it's all good. Surely no one could take offense. Zep ripped old blues artists for most of their early material, and Stairway To Heaven is so close to Taurus on Spirit's first album that Randy California could've sued if he were that kind of person. With all that out of the way, this is a really good rock'n'roll album! It's jamming party rock, and alot of fun to listen to. There are times the lead guitar reminds me more of Jorma from Jeff Airplane than Jimmy Page (Sad Road To The Sea). I think if things had been different, this group could've really made something of their selves. I wish a live recording would turn up. For the most part, this is hard driving rock that reminds me as much of Free and Mountain as Zep. The title cut sounds 60ish, but that's not a bad thing in my book. There isn't anything here new and different. It's just good hard rock, plain and simple. If you like any of the bands I mentioned and want something else in that vein, give it a try. Peter french is an excellent vocalist for this kind of music and the band is tight. Roll one up, grab a cold one, and turn up the volume!
