FROM RATE YOUR MUSIC
The first thing that caught my eye was the similarity of the covers of deep Purple's "Overflow" and "Come Taste the Band". However, that's where the similarity ended. For Chalice, unlike Deep Purple, does not play hard rock, but power-pop music. I would even dub it as a sunshine power-pop, how cheerful and upbeat this music is. This is the same sunshine power-pop, which in the first third of the 70s began to be performed by cute young hairy people in flimsy multi-colored suits and shirts, the collars of which had to be over jackets.
The album "Overflow" consists of a dozen songs arranged so that the driving perky numbers were diluted with ballads. Pleasant clean vocals, powerful backing vocals, rhythmic and melodic music. The only thing I thought was superfluous was the inclusion of country-like inserts – a harmonica in "Standing on a Mountain Top" and a banjo in "Mums and Dad". However, in terms of quality, the album turned out to be quite smooth.
