FACE TO FACE

For me it'is a worse album from the Barclay James Harvest. I saw the band in Peace Festival 1987 in Lisbon (when the band, sadly, made playback...) and bought a "He Said Love/On The Wings of Love" single. Because of this I think which the album is more acoustic but is not. When I bought this album (in vinyl) I'am disapointed. The songs are in a pop format and Mel Pritchard plays like eighteen drummer. In this album are good songs: "He Said Love" (another "Hymn");"You Need Love"; "Kiev" (the best) and "Guitar Blues". The rest is weak and not brings nothing new. Les Holroyd's songs (except "Kiev") are much pop for my taste and John Lees's "Panic" is too bad. For me, the "love" which fiils the album (four songs with word "Love" is not too much?) is not enough for give more stars. It'is a album for the fans. One note for the back cover of the vinyl (and cd?): a photo shows the band in beutiful Arrabida Mountain in Portugal (where the band recorder a video clip).
