While
a far cry from what was to come in later years, the first Trapeze album
has a special kind of charm to it- even if it’s scattered at times.
Musically, the band were a prog rock outfit in the vein of Jethro Tull
and the Moody Blues- while maintaining some of the psychedelic vibes of
the late 60s California bands. While this sounds good on paper, the
album isn’t necessarily great. Some of the songs drag out while others
don’t go anywhere. Still, there’s some solid prog rock tunes here- most
of which can be found on the first half of the album. At best, this is a
decent album.

This one's a rarity, but here's one misleading mistake! TRAPEZE had two eponymous records, one in 1970, the first album ever by the original band (a five-piece band) with a transitional sound from '60s pop/psychedelic to '70s rock, and another one in 1976, an album with contributions by Glenn Hughes while he was with DEEP PURPLE and therefore no member of TRAPEZE. Here we see the latter, where Hughes co-wrote track #3 and sang lead vocals on tracks #3 and #10. Enjoy! Cheers!
