Review by Evolver
SPECIAL COLLABORATOR Crossover & JR/F/Canterbury Teams

When I first received this album, it was in a promo package that compared the band favorably to 10CC. Warner Brothers records appeared to be very excited about them. And I actually heard the song Step Into My Groove on the radio a few times. I never suspected that this band's next album, "Dos", would become one of my all-time favorite albums.

This album is more like crossover prog than heavy prog, but there are still some elements. There is definitely a 10CC feel, especially in Step Into My Groove and Do What You Want. But there is also a psychedelic Pink Floyd vibe, the best example being Ghost Beside My Bed.

I enjoy this album more than I originally did, because of the second album they recorded. But I still can't rate it better than three stars.

It's just too bad that Warner Brothers had no idea how to market the band.
