HERE WE ARE

This album is one of those which could have been an all time classic but fails because of the way the tracks have been compiled. It contains the sensational 'Out In The Rain' which is enough on its own to guarantee greatness. one of the all time peaks of progressive rock

So what went wrong ? ...well 'Redskin' for a start is a disastrous choice to open a vital album. It would have been OK tucked away to close Side 2 but as a grand opener it just doesn't work. There is not enough melody form and it soon gets repetitive. Everything else is just dandy. 'Waterfall' is great too. I tend to skip side 1 but on the odd occasion I do give it a spin its an enjoyable experience. Jane are always interesting and this is indeed an excellent addition to any prog collection, so I'm saying 4 stars.
