Another heavy, blues-tintedrock album, craftily played, but with not much originality. Some tracks soundlike The Free, but with a great distance to that band's intensity. Saundersplays nice interceptions and some able solos, but the lack of something like anown handwriting mars almost every track. Some of the lyrics are examplary forwhat's wrong here: way down in the valley/ where the green grass grows. Howpoetically inspired can you get?
It's monday morning in the art departments too. A lackadaisical bandphoto,mirrored around the spine of the gatefold is not our idea of inventivegraphics, though the magenta and scarlet of the leaves is at least something.
The lettering is awkwardly placed and of an unfitting font.
The inside picture, taken in Hyde Park, where the band sits beside a verysceptical hippie chick, is very effective, though. It conveys perfectly theLondon atmosphere in the early seventies.
