TIME

"Istina Masina" is an aggressive and rocking start (hard rock) with a flamboyant Dado Topic in charge of a strong voice. Classic percussion, guitars with effects typical of the early 1970's and a Hammond that just blows away everything it can! A song with a lot of personality that opens the album with a lot of euphoria. Spectacular!

We turn to "Pjesma No.3" with a sensual x-y-y start and flute. An interesting and psychedelic lyric for the first 2 minutes and then a lead guitar with classic plucking that seems to be ahead of its time. Then the first part of the song is repeated.

"Hegedupa Upa" is the first instrumental song of the album... Well, not quite instrumental. The vocalist follows the instruments like someone humming at home while cleaning the furniture or cooking. These guys knew perfectly how and where to nail the fun piece! The percussion starts to stand out with its congas, the flute is encouraged to throw some Jethro Tull-like melodies and the guitar breaks the barriers with an entertaining wah- wah, but I think the Hammond takes the song here!

In the marvelous "Kralj Alcohol" the piano finally appears with the right notes, in a kind of constant interchange with the Hammond that never ceases to shine on this album. The lyrics cover alcoholism and its unbearable addiction that leads to abstinence and indecision. It's a great song, for God's sake! I can't stop raving about the great Hammond appearances. Tihomir Pop Asanovic did an excellent job here. Perhaps the least remarkable thing on the album is the bass, although it sounds neat and correct. With all the other instruments (including the vocals) shining so brightly, the one that doesn't have its sparkle doesn't quite shine in the big picture. Fact: The main riff has been taken and sped up by Pescado Rabioso for the song "Despiertate Nena".

"Za Koji Zivot Treba Da Se Rodim" is simply the perfect song to close this kind of album: the longest, deepest and most changing. The first few minutes point directly to questions of a lifetime (with a great vocal performance as always), but that is left behind as soon as the instrumental section of the song kicks in. Here, the bass is vindicated and shines splendidly. It seems to be the guiding instrument of the song, even though the battle between drums and keyboards is bloody! The guitar also sounds great, but this time a little less of a protagonist. The last 2 minutes are taken to repeat the impetuous chorus.

Excellent addition!
