SMALLCREEP'S DAY

Mike Rutherford is not a virtuoso guitarist, Ant Phillips is not a famous keyboardist. McCalla is an acceptable vocalist. Simon Phillips was a young drummer when he participated here, one of the best I saw in action. With these clarifications, I can say that Smallcreep's Day is a good product.

Do not expect an overwhelming instrumental deployment. Good songs well produced and executed, with some contribution progressive, especially in the epic title track. In the first part, I rescue Every Road and Time and Time Again.

Nothing spectacular or outstanding, but good compositions performed well. No great harvest year, which is a mitigating factor. Moreover, quite daring for being 1980.
