This
band really stand out in the 70s crowd. They move like no other, they
rock like no other, and they feel the music like no other. There is some
really great soul put into their music by each and every one of the
three members. The music screams at me, or better put, SQUAWKS at me.
Though I haven't listened to all of their albums, I can't imagine them
going bad, if they keep their style. Pain medicine is weak compared to
the abilities of this band. They rock like the wind, and roll like the
sea. They jam like the earth , and prog like the inner flame inside all
of us.
Burke Shelley is one of the highlights of the album. It roars
like the throat of a monstrous whale. It rams the music forward into
stardom. And it fills in perfectly where it is needed in the music.
Everything epic or moving in this album would be disintegrated if the
bass was taken out. His voice is as eerie as the wind whistling upon the
nooks and crannies of a mountain. His voice is as a flute. Strong and
tremendous, but very pleasant to hear indeed. He keeps attacking the
song with his voice as if every breathe he speaks he were actually
eating the song up, grokking the music. His voice is soft cheese to my
ears, and his bass is a fine donut.
Tony Bourge adds a drop of
whiskey to the music with his drowning guitar. His passion show
fruitfully, and he truly is a beast. Let alone the solos- in which would
take any other rock band of the era at least a week to figure out. It
takes you places in the mind's eye. It jams with the infernal light of
ingenuity. The guitar and bass truly act as brothers throughout the
entire album, so well that you would think it was one guitar on one
really fat neck.
Ray Philips is a true drummer. He knows where to put
the beats. And his drums are a true backbone to this music. THe drums
are bloodbrothers with the bass completely. They work so well together.
GO listen to this album right now it rules queef.
