Brit arena rockers hit their stride with this 6th album, at least in my book. One of their better efforts, with 2 standout tracks out of the meager 8 selections. The only dud is the only cover, a Love (the group) song. Formed in 1969 with Phil Mogg (vocals), Mike Bolton (guitar), Pete Way (bass) and Andy Parker (drums) as Hocus Pocus. Bolton left in 1972, replaced by Michael Schenker (Scorpions). In 1976 keyboardist Paul Raymond was added, in time for this album. Schenkers alcohol abuse led to his departure after the next album. This one reached #23 on the U.S. charts.
I LIKE THIS ALBUM
Worst Track - Alone Again
Best Track - Love To Love
Oh it's been too many times and I can't go back
Night bars, guitars, rundown motels like shacks
What it mounts up to I don't want it at all
Lost you and I want you today
Misty green and blue
Want to love to love you
Misty green and blue
Want to love to love you
To be something, to be near you
Don't say that you'll never know
Want to love to love you
Half the time it could seem funny
The other half is just too sad
This west bound moon's only rise and fall
Lost you and I want you today
Misty green and blue
Want to love to love you
Misty green and blue
Want to love to love you
To be something, to be near you
I don't know where I'm goin' to
I've tried and I need you to stay
