4 stars Not Psychedelic as previous albums, but I don't care much about that, as I'm aware that bands switches genres quite often (faster than Marty changes socks) and rating this as Psyche album would be unfair.

Some neat Heavy stuff going on here and even it's 1973, it sounds like earlier record, let's say pretty elaborate album for late 60s with added Prog elements (not progressive) of early 70s. In this case, I'm probably fortunate that I don't know their other albums so well, as I can enjoy this huge album. I like good jamming, some Prog-related bands made it here (Phish, Umphrey) because they combined it with certain Prog elements and if this is the path "Nektar" (yes, it sounds German, but this record at all doesn't seem german-like to me too much, but I suppose that others does).

The important thing is that in general, this does the trick. It fits together and it leaves fine emotional trace of certain amount of headbangs, some parts where their home genre shines (1-2-3-4's middle part)

By the way, when looking on line-up, Mick Brockett did "lights" ? Really ? Oh my, that's crazy, really crazy.

4(-), because even not so Prog, this is fun, interesting and in general pleasant enough (in delicate Heavy&Hard way) to give it that much (or low?)
