A NOD AND A WINK

I think raters here are skewed by the nostalgia effect: this is by no means a very progressive album nor is it even really very proggy. I'd call it bluesy rock. Fair to mediocre blues rock. This album reminds me very much of Roye Albrighton's Naughties' efforts to revive Nektar--only Roye's are MUCH better. Aside from the excellent opening song (which, again, sounds so much like Nektar revived), the flutes are pretty good. The vocals are awful--which detracts a great deal from the emotion behind the lyrics (which are few and far between) and the guitar soli are dull, boring, repetitive, stale, lackluster, worth skipping over. The only way a person should pay to acquire this album is if they were really hard up for more 60s-70s blues guitar solos.
