This is first and foremost a rock album rocking harder or softer. The band are in their formative years but showing
potential individually to form a strong and distinctive results.
I like compositional strengths with guitar and keyboards standing out. Keyboard in particular shows some hints of
progressive rock while bass and drums more or less sticks to staightforward rock.
Vocals are competent, too.
"Look around" is a semi-prog almost instrumental number and despite its short length, "Our friend George" has a
decent progressive chord twist with quite good Hammond. The title track has organ/Moog willing to tackle current
progressive rock but it's marred by unsuitable rock'n'roll drumming that has little fantasy.
"I'm gonna have you all" has nice organ touch that remind me of The Who.
Last traces of bluesy sound can be found in "Down home".Quite a good album (better ones are to come) but hardly essential.
