IF I COULD DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN, I'D DO IT ALL OVER YOU

These blokes could really lock into a groove, of that there's no doubt. But it's not as good as 'In the Land of Grey and Pink' by any stretch of the imagination.

The somewhat lifeless vocals of Pye Hastings rubs me up the wrong way. They're nice enough but are so powder puff soft, they also permeate the whole sound of this album.

'As I Feel' cheers me up immensely - now this is more like it - Dave Sinclair's keyboards go ballistic reminding me very much of 'Egg' in their prime. The 10 minute "With an Ear to the Ground' bores me then cheers me up then lets me down again towards the end with the vocals. But would you believe it - the ending is great. Baah!

Damn! it's just all too NICE. Thats my big problem with this album. 'Hello Hello' is my favourite song on this album - where everything comes together beautifully... for once. If truth be told, this album's actually pretty good. I just wanted to kick lumps out of it but don't have the ammunition to do so. A good solid effort with special 'hats off' to Dave Sinclair.

I still prefer the follow up!
