Shades of heavy British rock
The hard riffs and mellow vocals intertwine, and the sophisticated structure shines through while maintaining the hard rock structure.
This album is considered a hidden gem in the late '70s hard rock scene. Michael Des Barres' powerful vocals are at the core, while Robbie Blunt's guitar effortlessly alternates between heavy riffs and melodic phrases. The songs are tightly structured overall, with tracks like "Recognition" and "Got Enough Love" showcasing a thick groove and rock tenacity, while slower tracks like "Nightingale" showcase a more lyrical side. Released on Jimmy Page's Swan Song label, the sound is influenced by Led Zeppelin and the like, but the band's passion and musical talent allow them to establish a unique presence.
