LARGE AFTERNOON

Large Afternoon is the latest Greenslade album to date and likely to be their last album ever. It was released in the year 2000, 25 years after the group's previous album Time And Tide. It thus constituted a comeback of sorts (though Dave Greenslade did release some albums under his own name in the interim). Large Afternoon often gets harsh criticism, but to my ears it is an album that is worthy of the band and that fits in among (particularly the later of) the 70's albums. It is very true that not every track here is of the desired quality, but I think it must be admitted that this was true also of previous albums.

In general, I appreciate the instrumental side of this album a lot more than the vocal side. Roughly, every second track is an instrumental, starting with the opener Cakewalk, which is one of the strongest tracks here together with On Suite, which features vocals. The weakest track is Hallelujah Anyway which overstays its welcome, dragging along for more minutes than anyone could reasonably have wanted!

Certainly not among the band's best moments, and by no means essential. Yet, Large Afternoon is still a decent album and a worthy addition to a collection that already holds Greenslade's 70's albums.
