This is the second album released by the band in ’75, and it’s the only early album they released that had no hits on it. The first record had Funny Funny and Co Co – both were big chart hits and written by hit writers of the time, Chapman and Chin. They did write two tracks on the album, No You Don’t, and AC/DC, but neither were hits.
The big hits of course were Blockbuster and Ballroom Blitz, but amazingly they were not originally released on any album. The killer track on this album is Set Me Free, which was a B Side to a single. It’s a great tune that rocks with some great harmonies, which is one of the band’s trademarks. There are a couple of cheesy old school rock n roll style tracks with Rebel Rouser and Peppermint Twist, which do nothing for me. The title track is a really good track, as is Into The Night which showed that the band could write great tracks without the help of Chapman and Chin, which would become a big issue later on.
Not the best Sweet album as that is Give Us A Wink, but it does have its moments.
7.5/10 from The Grooveman.
