One of the most forgotten... but not underrated album of the early
seventies, Captain Beyonds debut-album. A great piece of work,
hard-edged, dark and heavy music with skilled musicians. Later
albums did not live up to the debuts high

I've heard that album.  Pretty decent hard rock.  Captain Beyond was actually a supergroup featuring members of Deep Purple and Iron Butterfly.

Having heard their first album only recently, I must say that I was expecting something much better. Maybe it's because I do not dig Evans' voice. Maybe it's because everybody says that Capt. Beyond was fantastic. Maybe I'm just getting older...

I would agree with you on Rod Evans' voice- I often found him to be a workmanlike vocalist in comparison to most heavy rock singers- and to be honest, I'd much rather hear a DP or Iron Butterfly album than this. I think it is a very good, maybe even excellent, album, yet for me the songwriting lacks something...

I purchased it in CD this month and think is great... Similar to Deep Purple in one sense...

Dancing Badly Backwards is a great track.

That's the only song I've heard of theirs and I have to say I found it rather good. But I thought the track was called 'Dancing Madly Backwards.'
