This is the least good track on the album.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Mon Sep 14, 2020 7:38 pm

It is over.

I enjoyed that much more than I usually enjoy albums that aren't my kind of thing. I think it was down to the playing rather than the actual songs. It had a vigour and a power to surprise while remaining efficient.

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

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Mon Sep 14, 2020 7:39 pm

I shall give it 4 stars.

A variety of rock artists have cited Stand Up as an all-time favourite album over the years, including Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder, Aerosmith's Tom Hamilton, Joe Bonamassa, and Joe Satriani.

It is over. Back to the ones I skipped.

Also, not one song exceeded 4:20 minutes long.

Pretty unusual for a prog band of any era.
