COAT OF ARMS

Wishbone Ash

Prog Related

From Progarchives.com, the ultimate progressive rock music website

There are certain artists in the Archives, whose reason to be here may not be related so much with their "progressiveness" as with their iconic status as "classic rock heroes". And I think that such thing is not bad, at all, since it allow us to reconsider some sacred cows like, let's say, The Who, or in this case, Wishbone Ash. An what may be the result of the present reconsideration?

In the first place, like I implied above, this album can't be deemed as "progressive" in any plausible sense of the term.

Not less discouragingly, the first half of the album pass like a continuous and somewhat monotonous jigging festival.

Fortunately, the second half, beginning with "Drive" gets much better, proving their recuperation with good melodies and nice guitar interweaving, as it's expected from this historic band.

I am very new to Wishbone Ash. The early albums quickly caught my ear, this one however has not. I am currently listening to it for the very fist time as I type this. It isn't bad music, I am halfway through and everything has sounded mediocrely average. The singer sounds sleepy, if someone wanted to call this album boring. I would give it to them. However, if you can enjoy David Gilmour's solo albums, you might like this one. Gilmour in PF is a class act, but as a solo artist, I find his music boring(save a few tracks). Like Gilmour's music, this album needs energy because its putting me to sleep! Who knows, maybe the next time I play it something could change. Enough perhaps to give it a two star rating. But for now, this is something I would not show to anyone. You can find music of this caliber in your local bands.
