One of the first of the British hair metal bands. Formed in 1969 and stuck around forever although never finding huge success. This is their ninth album and almost a flat liner except for the diposable lead off instrumental. Nothing great, nothing terrible which pretty much describes their whole career for me. The bands peak years were the mid to late 70's when former Scorpion Mike Schenker was on board. This is the first album after his departure, due to alcohol abuse and tensions in the band. Produced by George Martin. Singles of Young Blood and Lettin' Go which failed to make it. They are still a touring band and released an album just last year.


I LIKE THIS ALBUM

Worst Track - Alpha Centauri

Best Track - Take It Or Leave It

l'm on my way home
To see my little angel
Trying to put the pieces back together
Well it's been so long
I'm feeling like a stranger
But they tell me a good thing lasts forever

Who's to say we can't talk it over
'Cause in time I know
That we'll work it out
Give it one more chance
Before it's too late
Baby until the last good-bye
Take it or leave it or leave me alone
Baby one (more) little sad reply
Take it or leave it or leave me alone

As time passed by
A thousand miles of ocean
I put you out of sight
And out of mind girl
And before too long promises were broken
Seemed no matter how we tried

Who's to say we can't talk it over
'Cause in time I know
That we'll work it out
Give it one more chance
Before it's too late
Baby until the last good-bye
Take it or leave it or leave me alone
Baby one (more) little sad reply
Take it or leave it or leave me alone

English prog rockers Alan Parsons, Eric Woolfson and Andrew Powell formed this group after Parsons frustration over what he felt was his work being restricted by the artists he was producing. How dare them artists want to have control over their work. Really liked the early albums, but they ;ost me a few before this one, which I think may be their worst for me. With 3 instrumental tracks and 4 different lead vocalists on the other 6, there's just no continuity here. One of those instrumentals, Where's The Walrus, earned a grammy nomination for best rock instrumental. The album reached #43 in the states, with a single of the title track at #82.

I DO NOT LIKE THIS ALBUM

Worst Track - Chinese Whispers

Best Track - In The Real World

One more compromise I won't be making
One more easy way out I won't be taking
So many chances don't come twice
So many eyes are made of ice
One more cheating hand I won't be shaking

One more substitute I won't be trying
One more piece of the rock that I'm not buying
So many times we stand and fight
So many reasons can't be right
One more simple truth I'm not denying

Too many lonely hearts in the real world
Too many lonely nights in the real world
Too many fools who don't think twice
Too many ways to pay the price
Don't wanna live my life in the real world

One more sacrifice I won't be making
One more golden rule I won't be breaking
No one to let me state my case
No one to tell me to my face
One more sweet surprise I won't be faking

Too many lonely hearts in the real world
Too many lonely nights in the real world
Too many bridges you can burn
Too many tables you can't turn
Don't wanna live my life in the real world

Too many lonely hearts in the real world
Too many lonely nights in the real world
Too many games that I can't play
Too many windmills in my way
Don't wanna live my life in the real world

Too many lonely hearts in the real world
Too many lonely nights in the real world
Don't wanna live my life in the real world
Too many lonely hearts in the real world
Too many lonely hearts in the real world
Don't wanna live my life in the real world

The second of a 2 album career, this one just barely holds up compared to their first one for me. Have to think it is because of the departure of co-founding member Chris Bell, leaving Alex Chilton to carry the load. Received excellent reviews on release but a distribution deal when Columbia bought out label Ardent, led to poor sales. Singles of O My Soul and September Gurls, neither of which had any impact. But we can always blame it on that label issue. The very nice but short last track makes up for the bad parts.

I LIKE THIS ALBUM

Worst Track - Mod Lang

Best Track - I'm In Love With A Girl

I'm in love with a girl
Finest girl in the world
I didn't know I could feel this way.

Think about her all the time
Always on my mind
I didn't know about love.

All that a man should do is true
I didn't know this could happen to me.

Had forgotten just how great this album actually is. Sort of makes me want to re-evaluate my selection in the best album poll. Oh well. Other than Stairway To Heaven, which classic rock stations have made listeners groan whenever they play it. There is not a track on here that I would tire of hearing one more time. Not that Stairway is not an excellent song. Just don't want to hear it. The album actually did not have a title but has come to be called IV. In the U.S. it is the third best selling album of all time. There were two singles off of here and neither was Stairway. Black Dog reached #15 on the U.S. charts and Rock And Roll #47. The album peaking at #2.

I LOVE THIS ALBUM

Worst Track - Four Sticks

Best Track - When The Levee Breaks

If it keeps on raining levee's going to break
If it keeps on raining levee's going to break
When the levee breaks have no place to stay

Mean old levee taught me to weep and moan
Mean old levee taught me to weep and moan
Got what it takes to make a Mountain Man leave his home

Oh, well; oh, well; oh, well.

Don't it make you feel bad?
When you're trying to find your way home you don't know which way to go?
When you're going down south and there's no work to do
And you're going on to Chicago

Crying won't help you, praying won't do you no good
Crying won't help you, praying won't do you no good
When the levee breaks, mama, you got to go

All last night sat on the levee and moaned
All last night sat on the levee and moaned
Thinking about my baby and my happy home

Going - going to Chicago
Going to Chicago
Sorry, but I can't take you

Going down - going down, now
Going down - going down, now
Going down
Going down
Going down
Going down

Going down - going down, now
Going down - going down, now
Going down - going down, now
Going down
Going dow-, dow-, dow-, dow-, down, now

Les Claypool - The Phantom Patriot. From the album "Of Whales and Woe"

Les Claypool is one of the most original musicians out there and his superiority on bass cannot be out done. Most would know him as the front man from Primus but he has many other side projects, most notably the Frog Brigade. Purple Onion is a great album and if you like Pink Floyd Check out Live Frogs Set 2, Les does the entire Animals album live. (I hate to admit it but his version was the first one i heard so when I listen to the original i find it sounds off.)

The ast two albums put forth by Les has been solo and Of Whales and Woe is pretty out there, this song is my favorite on the album YouTube - Les Claypool "Phantom Patriot" Prawn Song Records

His atest release was a bit of a let down, he seems to be getting weirder and weirder with his writing. I'm going to say what a lot are thinking, I WANT PRIMUS BACK!!!

First play since last summer.

A brilliant compilation. If you don't know Zevon, and you like pin-sharp songwriting, check this out...
