HALL OF THE MOUNTAIN GRILL

This is better than the previous albums, but only slightly. The production is not very good though, it sounds as if it is played inside a metal tank! They did become a little bit more progressive here with sparse use of harpsichord and piano. However, there is also still a serious lack of real musicianship in this band, as well as a lack of catchy, melodious songs. The monotonous riffs and the repetitive beats are still here as well.

There were hundreds of much better bands around in the 70's and still today that deserve those two star ratings more so than Hawkwind does so only one star from me for this album.
