3 stars Third band's album - somewhere very close to their "golden period". You can easy feel there Deep Purple influences, but at the same time Mann has very his keyboards lines. Songs mostly are catchy. Guitar and drums are all hard rock, but at the same time you easily find there plenty of prog elements.

Title track sounds as it was taken from "Nightingales and Bombers" album. Buddah is great prog-rock composition. In fact all the album is mix of previous blues-rock and r'n'b songs, and some new growing progressive sound. Still not final result, but sound quite attractive. What means, that could be recommended for band fans. New listener should better try "Nightingales and Bombers".
