Frijid Pink, EARTH OMEN, represents a hard blues rock with light psychedelic touches. But Earth Omen is the album that justified their sound with differences to the previous two albums.

When the regular Frijid Pink fan put this album to play for the first time, he thinks he got it wrong and put a killer Deep Purple or Uriah Heep album. The first song, Miss Evil, starts with hammond organ screaming and some wah-wah guitar. The song returns to their blues-rock origins during the verses, but the instrumental interlude really stands out, with excellent organ and bass playing. The second song is a real highlight. Sailor, with a somber mood, has great guitar and piano riff, joined by subtle organ in the chorus. The wah-wah guitar solo is very good also. The vocal melody and harmonies are great.

The next song, Earth Omen, is keyboard driven, with a good piano riff and organ touches to enrich the song. The chorus has some epic qualities, with great singing and guitar. The song changes completely for the second round of verses, with powerful drumming and heavy guitar riff. The lyrics are strong about environmental issues. Lazy day is just a beautiful ballad, with good mandolin work, great bass work and subtle keyboards.

Train Woman is a return to the blues-rock, but the arrangements are very good and the organ always dominant. The rhythm section is very interesting and the different guitar insertions give a good flavor to the song. Eternal Dream is a great song, with a slow pace and a somber mood, great piano riff, beautiful bells and great drumming. The vocal melody is very beautiful.

New Horizon is the next song, a psychedelic tinged blues rock, with exciting complex piano riff and rhythm section. The instrumental interlude is a bit complex and the guitar solo is nice. Rainbow Rider is another upbeat psych blues rock song, with good bass lines, piano and wah-wah guitar. The last song, Mr. Blood, is a hard rock song, with strong organ and guitar riff a la Uriah Heep and Deep Purple. The instrumental interlude is pure brilliance, a crescendo with insane bass, millitary drums and piano, building tension. The crescendo breaks into superb organ and guitar solos
