5 stars BUILDINGS ON FIRE !

This is by far my fave from the band.

Unlike many reviewers, I discovered them at the time of release and also witnessed a concert of them in Brussels in 1978. So, my feelings might differ of some other reviews?.

Actually my feeling about this great album hasn't change througout the years (some 40). From the opening track up to the closing number it is just a passionate succession of gorgeous songs.

I can't really make a difference between the first great songs of this album. The beat is consisting, melodies are top notch and lyrics (lots of them !) are rather interesting. Seven ofn these great ones are on par.

I have been listening to this great album countless times when I discovered it. And at this time of my review, Ihave to admit that the same feeling apply. Nessdeess to say that some tracks (two) which were never my cup of tea remain so ('' Found a Job'' and '' Take Me to the River''). They are ones of the longest ones of this offering and I never liked them.

While the closing starts though, I am just voiceless. This has always been my faveTH tracks. Such a beautiful melody, such a good rhythm , such a pleasant environment.

Each time that I listen to this great song, I just fall in love?.

GREAT ? Yes ! Superb ? Yes ! Five stars ? Yes !
