Track by Track Review

|
Disc 1 |
|
Devil's Answer (Live) Starting just a bit like Hawkwind, this one feels a lot like The Crazy World of Arthur Brown from which the group emerged. This is a good solid rocker with a great sounding keyboard solo. |
|
Play It Again With an intro that feels like a cross between Hawkwind and Deep Purple's "Child In Time", this one starts building slowly, then erupts into a solid hard rocking jam. |
|
End of the Day This one begins in a mighty bluesy metallic groove. That mighty Hammond sound lends a Deep Purpleish tone to the track, but with a more quirky texture. The interplay between guitar and keys really steals the show on this one. |
|
Tomorrow Night With a somewhat Latin sort of groove to the intro, the Hammond again takes over quite quickly. The cut takes on a texture a bit like a proggy arrangement of something from Alice Cooper's Goes To Hell. The guitar solo is very tasty. |
|
Lost In Space Slower and more balladic at times, this cut takes on some great appropriately spacey prog jamming. It is a great track. |
|
Loose Your Mind A great hard rocking, but accessible number, this one has a great groove to it. |
|
Control Of You A fast paced, rather off-kilter texture makes this one a lot of fun. This cut becomes a killer prog jam all the instruments playing well off of one another. |
|
Oh She, Oh She's My Woman With a killer retro texture that feels a bit like the Ramones or B-52's at times, this one starts rocking out quite well.
|
|
Death Walks Behind You Beginning with piano that feels quite mysterious, appropriately this one begins to feel like the soundtrack to a slasher film. As the intro ends, a great hard rocking groove takes the cut, and it begins building in an awesome manner. This fairly dark number is one of the strongest on the collection. |
|
Sleeping For Years Freaky effects laden guitar makes up the intro on this one. The song proper comes in frantic and hard-edged with an occasionally quirky texture. |
|
Can't Take No More With a very accessible hard rocking mode, this one is a straight ahead cut. |
|
|
Disc 2 |
|
Who's Looking For You This is another fast paced hard rocker that feels just a bit like early Alice Cooper. |
|
Loose Your Mind This cut is pretty much the same as the other one by the same title. |
|
Watch Out This is a fast paced, hard-edged jam in the vein of Burn era Deep Purple. |
|
I Don't Need You Anymore Feeling a bit like Kansas, this is a strong and quirky hard-edged rocker. |
|
He Did It A fairly straightforward rocker, this is a catchy foot stomper. It gets rather odd and quirky at times. |
|
The Show Bouncy and punky, this one is quite fun. |
|
Start To Live Rather off kilter and energetic, this cut is a fun one. It feels a bit like White Witch at times. |
|
Living Underground Tentative steps lead to a nice rocking groove in a traditional bluesy style. It gets rather odd and fairly psychotic as it carries on. |
|
End of the Day Starting a bit mysterious, this one is a solid rocking cut that grooves well. |
|
Take It For Granted With an intro that moves from something a bit like a cross between Nazareth's "Morning Dew" and Emerson, Lake and Palmer, this one becomes a twisted sounding prog piece. It feels rather unproduced, but is a great tune. |
|
Sleepless Nights This song is quirky, creepy fast paced and hard edged. |
|
Hold It Through The Night Fun and bouncy, this cut is more light hearted. |
|
No Chance By Mine With a good solid classic rock groove, this one is a bit quirky, but generally accessible. |
|
Throw Your Life Away "Throw Your Life Away" is a quirky and fun piece. |
