I have been quite generous with my ratings for each of the "Wishbone Ash" album so far, but I have to admit that the "music" featured here is quite poor.

What happened to these great (hard) rock feel that could be experienced in their prior releases? Totally forgotten I'm afraid. Even though if their "progressive" side was never obvious to me (actually, we all know that their relation with prog rock was very, very, very thin), the band developed such great rock moments full of emotional guitar music that they could be linked (but remotely) with prog.

The problem with this album is that these great moments are alien and the listener just has to bear basic rock music with little to no inventiveness. The funky "Half Pasy Lovin" is of no great help to improve the quality of this album either.

One of the only bearable songs is "Trust In You". But this is only due to the similarity with CSN & Y. Slow, powerful, nice guitars and good vocal harmonies. Thanks to the decent closing track ("Say Goodbye") which is made of the same mould, I will rate this album with two stars (but three out of ten would be more accurate).

No big deal, to say the least.
