3 stars I am unsurprised Caravan continues to be terribly mediocre. When this album was announced I was like "lol perfect timing, a little brother for "Yes" The Quest." Notice the parenthesis? Those are there because neither band is actually the real one. So yeah here Caravan has one original member, Pye Hastings who has written the bulk of a Caravans output since the 60s. That being said numbers like Can't Be Long Now and Winter Wine, pretty much most of Caravans signature songs he wasn't responsible for, rather the Sinclair cousins were. Here and for the last 45~ years one can see Pye Hastings contributions to Caravan, forgettable "pop" songs with atrocious lyrics.

Overall this album is okay, just kind of lacks in memorability, each song blending together because they sound the same, cheesy lyrics and overlong songs (every song is outrageously stretched). Its not bad for me it sounds like an absolute lack of inspiration. It sounds like an album that didn't need to be made because everything said on here was already said on better albums decades ago.

TLDR Sounds nothing like classic Caravan just another boring Pye Hastings solo album. I'm not reviewing the rest as they are so samey/non Canterburian.

Beautiful Scarlet | 3/5 |
