LUNCH

"Lunch" disappointed me. I expected something like "The House On the Hill" which is a brilliant blend of proto-prog and folk-rock and, well, "Lunch" has nothing to do with its predecesor. It was recorded only one year later but it seems that the whole inspiration of the previous album is gone away. In "Lunch" there are really no highlights, everything is vulgar and boring. It's difficult to understand the reason why the same band can produce two records so different as far as creativity is concerned because the elements we could find in "THOTH" are here (Werth fantastic voice and acoustic guitar playing, Keys and Gemell brilliant saxo...) but the whole thing just doesn't work. It's definitely not a prog album, not even prog-related (not even a good non-prog record), so if I were you I would avoid it.
