VOICE

Capability Brown released their second album in 1973. This offering has an original set of songs with creative ideas behind. The strongest weapon by the band are their mature vocals which decorate all songs.

The first three songs are ordinary song covers that you like hearing once and that's enough. The fourth track expands the ambitions by introducing hard rock and Queen-like vocal harmonies. Anyway, not enough to stand out from the crowd. All the creativity and sophistication is transformed into the last epic track - "Circumstances". Vocal quality is astonishing, added instruments like synths are welcome addition to the sonic palette. This epic can be called prog-related mainly because of its unconventional compositonal approach, the instrumentation and rhythm attributes are more conventional. This last track saves the rating of the album to 3 stars but it does not elevate it to the essential group of progressive rock records.
