DUKE

This is truly an appalling album, it lacks any creativity and does not contain a single descent song or melody. Extraordinary to think that 2 albums before they produced the sublime Wind and Wuthering with such gems as Blood on the Rooftops and One for the Vine. Here you have the pathetic "Duchess" and the ghastly "Man of our times". The album finishes with Dukes Travels and Dukes End - a feeble attempt to recreate Los Endos from Trick of the Tale.

At least in the days of vinyl you could snap such a miserable recording in two ! Avoid like the plague!
