RUSSIAN ROULETTE

I would give this album zero stars if it was possible. "Russian Roulette" is very poor in all senses: an awful cover, mediocre songs and an overall weak performance by all musicians (some of them are great instrumentists, but you'll never say it when you listen to this album). Arno Steffen is the worst singer I've ever heard in a progressive rock album. Jürgen Fritz seems to have lost his ability not only to play, but to write songs. I like Triumvirat, even if it is by all means an ELP clone. They made some interesting albums at the mid-seventies; this album, in the other hand, is uninspired and frustrating - no wonder why they called a day after its release. Buy "Russian Roulette" at your own risk.
