Seven and a half minutes long.

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

Hints of Happiness is a Warm Gun.

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!

Well, I, for one, am digging it.

Yes!

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

Hints of the end of The Chain.

This is not what you'd describe as suttal.

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

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.

I shall give it four stars.

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.
