[3 - 3,5 stars]

Well, this album is a mixed bag, that's for sure. The final track - 17 minutes long "The Whip" is clearly the best track in band's catalogue, being a very good 70's symphonic rock epic with some nice variations in sound and style. As for the rest... well, I'd say the rest of the album is nothing more than a bunch of okay songs. Some nice synths here and there, some pleasant acoustic guitars. The themes and lyrics are actually quite cheesy though (what do you expect from titles like "Music Is Life" or "Join the Party", really?).

In comparison to the excellent debut, side A is definitely a huge stepback. However, side B contains a great suite, which will please any classic 70's prog rock freak. It all sums up to an average rating. Definitely check out "The Whip" if you enjoyed the first album.
