10,000 DAYS

My wife is not too crazy about this album. But then is it her writing this review? No. This album with it's concept as a whole beckons back to the seventies when bands actually cared about art regardless of how high they were on drugs and being manipulated by record executives who were probably ten times more high on freak knows what than the guys in the band were.

What attracted me at first was the elaborate CD concept artwork. I said to myself this I gotta hear so I forked out 21 bucks for it along with the BB King CD that I had gone in to HMV fir that I had on special order. I can only describe the package as psychedelic. The music is heavy, lyrical, angry and encompasses influences from everything from early Black Sabbath, Zeppelin to 90s King Crimson with originality. I couldn't take it out of my CD player.

What a Surprise. Not a big fan of anything beyond 1975 but this one blew me away. I have no choice but to give this work of art 5 stars.
