3 stars Non-progressive, but real rock album this is!

Although there are a lot of bands who have excellent original songs, I consider that very few bands can play covered songs as original ones. I'm sure Manfred Mann's Earth Band (MMEB) is exactly it. The important key is Chris Thompson's guitar. Very wonderful as we can say the rigid but so winding guitar sound is all. Especially, in teh song Carifornia the weeping guitar sound is exploded. Added a hard rhythm section and Mann's lyrical keyboard, the work is soaring higher. From the first track Circles to the last Mighty Quinn, we can't take only one breath. There's no progressive element but all are strict rock. I want to recommend this album as a rocked rock one, not a prog one, so should give this album 3 stars.

But I love it much of course!
