![]() Whatever Would Robert Have Said? is a classic song, with a great hammond intro, adding sax, drums and acoustic strumming to fill out the sound as it builds. Hamill's lyrics are interesting as always, and some distant electric guitar accompanies him. the acoustic guitar now sounds like a lute almost, and the harmonies are great. The middle section slows down and has a great sax solo from Jackson. then it builds into a driving climax, and the softer vocal part is reprised for the ending. Out of My Book sounds like it might turn into another Refugees, with lots of acoustics and flute. It turns out to be better though, but still a song i dont usually listen to. After the Flood has an interesting riff that gets repeated by Organ, sax and acoustic guitar. Then the vocal line comes in, imitating it. then it kicks into 4/4 for a rocky section, but this song isnt nearly as good as the other 2 epics on this album. It seems to use a lot of repeating, to its disadvantage. There is a good flute solo at some point, sounding a little like Ian Anderson, but this cant save the song. Overall, a very up and down album, with about half of it being mediocre and the other half bringing it up a little, so 3 stars it is.
