3 stars This is the only Gypsy album I own

"Gypsy Queen Part I & II" (3.75 out of 5.00) Since the first time I heard this opening track it attracted my attention completely. I was amazed. I have found what could have been a hit in the early 70īs from a little known band, and certainly it was. The song is catchy with the vocal harmonies and a great percussive work. In the second part the track becomes a bit down and slightly changed but still enjoyable.

"Man of Reason" (4.00 out of 5.00) I don`t know why this track makes me think of The Beatles. Probably because of the jokingly performance, I like it much despite its shortness and simplicity.

"Dream If You Can" (2.75 out of 5.00) This song brings back what could it be a sequel from "Gypsy Queen", the vocal harmonies are back but this time its a bit slower.

"Late December" (3.50 out of 5.00) Another track I like, so intense and one that sticks.

From now on until "The Vision" the album becomes a bit boring

"The Third Eye" (2.50 out of 5.00) This is a dramatic song. nothing really worthwile but tolerable and moderately enjoyable.

"Decisions" (2.75 out of 5.00) Seems as if were the second part from the previous "The Third Eye". I like the second half more than the first.

"I Was So Young" (1.75 out of 5.00) This is my least favorite, a refiller that has nothing really outstanding.

"Here In My Loneliness" (2.75 out of 5.00) A festive jazzy song, good and enjoyable.

"More Time" (2.50 out of 5.00) Another refiller, not bad.

"The Vision" (2.50 out of 5.00) Just like "Decisions", I like the second half where it turns fast but then it fades again.

"Dead and Gone" (4.25 out of 5.00) From my point of view this is the best track of the whole album despite being positioned before the ending track (refiller?), here it`s where all members, mainly singers and lead guitarrist, show off. It is the most eclectic song of the album, ranging from folk rock, psych, prog, pop, etc... An unforgettable performance, Highly enjoyable Truly worth.

"Tomorrow Is The Last To Be Heard" (3.00 out of 5.00) It`s the definitive track from the album, where have been mixed the most outstanding aspects of the band. A powerful performance but not as good as "Dead and Gone".

So I will give 3 stars, because that's what I think this album deserves.
