I sense that we're entering a horizonless glacial landscape of synths. freezing

Big drums.

I've heard this one.

Not offensive, but a bit of a hodge podge of 70s musical genres.

Very 70s. it was 1976, how much more 70s could it be?

Sort of how I imagine a more imaginative and better Kiss album after they'd gone off a bit and were trying a variety of styles to see what sticks to the wall.

Kettle drums! Excited

Well, I, for one, am digging it.

by Nightjar Thu Jul 02, 2020 7:42 pm

Drummer going 'ting-ting-ting' on the cymbals. happy

This is not what you'd describe as suttal.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Thu Jul 02, 2020 7:45 pm

In fairness, that was a short seven and a half minutes.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Thu Jul 02, 2020 7:48 pm

It is over.

That was an album that I felt started out very strongly but, after a while, I started to tire of being hit over the head with virtuosity and it started to lose me. However, it did have a late rally with its final track.

Now to look back at the thread and see what everybody else made of it. Excited

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Thu Jul 02, 2020 7:48 pm

I shall give it four stars.

by Nightjar Thu Jul 02, 2020 7:48 pm

Well that was, in regards that I didn't mean to download it in the first place, pretty ace.

Perhaps - well, not perhaps, rather definitely - a bit OTT, but pretty entertaining nonetheless.

If someone asked me to recommend them an obscure rock album I think this might be my go-to choice.

Bob Welch might need to be examined more closely.

Especially since this is (and the other Paris album) considered to be weak by his general standards. yes
