Tracklist
Death Walks Behind You Vug Tomorrow Night 7 Streets Sleeping For Years I Can't Take No More Nobody Else Gershatzer I find it utterly astonishing that, even based purely on the strength of this album, Atomic Rooster are not hailed as Gods of 70s hard rock. Now, I really enjoyed their debut, a prog rock classic, but Death Walks Behind You is fucking phenomenal! Seriously, any fan of hard/psych rock needs to hear this one right now. Where the debut was mostly a prog album with heavy leanings, light on guitar, but employing King Crimson-esque melancholy in the songwriting & structure, this album just goes all out, with the late great John DuCann firing out blazing riffs & solos that rival many of his contemporaries in the likes of Led Zeppelin, AC/DC and so on. Opening with the dark, doom-laden title track, with it's clever blend of rockin' riff & crazy hammond organ, it should have you hooked. But it only gets better from there. Moving on to the crazy Jethro Tull style instrumental "VUG", this should please anyone who thought AR had left their prog roots behind. "Tomorrow Night" should be farmiliar to some rock fans, and is a cheery, superbly infectious tune withc a catchy piano track. "7 Streets" is another melancholy hard prog track in the vein of the title track, with a superb dirty rock riff to lead in atop the creepy organ. My personal favourite is the seriously amazing "Sleeping For Years", easily one of the most epic 70s rock anthems I've ever heard, with a brilliantly air-guitar riff, catchy vocals and a lurching psychedelic freakout in the middle, it should be hailed as a legendary track for all to here. "I Can't Take No More" sounds almost like AR were jamming with The Stooges, very gritty, garage-esque street rock. "Nobody Else" is another piano driven tune, and is haunting and marvellous. Ending with the Crimsonian "Gershatzer" instrumental, which is a prog classic, meandering mechanically like the best math-rockers of the time. All in all, this album should be preserved as a lost treasure, and deserves to be heard and worshipped at the altar of rock for all of time. Go out there and get listening!!
