3 stars I've dived three records deep after "For Girls who grow plump" and they were disappointing (not terrible bot nothing to be excited about) so I stopped. I've found more caravanish sound on Camel's 'Rain Dances' and 'Breathless' when Sinclair joined the band. Checked Hatfield and The North for the Sinclair sound and was not disappointed, but I thought that was it. I'm hearing 'Back to front' right now and right from the start I like it. Nice melodies, very jazzy sound, Sinclair's voice - what's not to like? Not everything is on the level of thew first track though. The sound is somewhat updated, some songs are just quite simple ballads, but they happen to be nice and pleasant and it's Caravan again, just not as prog as popy. All of the songs are more or less likable with the first one and the last being closer to classic Caravan. Oh and Mel Collins is here :) 2.75 star from me rounded up to 3.
