This was the band’s third album. They were already an established Prog rock band in the UK, but the release of this album (especially the single, Dreamer and the Wurlitzer piano sound) redefined the band’s future sound.
This is a schoolboy memory for me as everyone was talking about them because of Dreamer. Definitely a perfect record. I love the sound and groove of the whole album – especially the way they added pop elements into the songs and kept the groovy extended instrumental pieces. The production is fantastic and is one of the greatest sounding 70’s records.
There is not one bad moment on the whole album, in fact, School, Bloody Well Right, Dreamer, Rudy, and the title track, are all some of the best pieces the band ever composed. I still get so much joy from listening to it after all these years. A truly stunning record.
10/10 from The Grooveman.
