DANGER MONEY

Okay, so it's not the debut. And, it does have a somewhat "Asia-esque" quality to it. Danger Money is still a marvelous progressive album that should be on any collectors shelf. WHile not as original as it's predecessor, I still find this to be a great release with few weak points. The only track I find less than perfect on here is "The Only Thing She Needs" which just seems to ramble and never gets my attention. Otherwise, "Danger Money", "Caeser Palace Blues", etc are fantastic. And "Carrying No Cross" is my favorite of all UK's efforts. Great prog. Losing 2 members did little to hurt this band, except maybe the "jazzier" feel of the first album is replaced by a more "classic rock" feel. I know some find the material here somewhat dated, but I really don't get that feeling. Now Asia....dated too the max. So overall, 4 stars, really 4 1/2.
