    Quite enjoyed this, couple of songs have stuck in my head. Might have bought it back in the 70's. 6/10.

    Well I listened to this last night while doing some work on the PC, and I think it is very good so it gets a 7 from me. Cheers.

    Listening to this right now (FLAC), Am digging it quite a lot. Right up my street, sucker for the space and atmosphere in music, thanks for bringing this band to my attention!
    I can whistle with my fingers, especially if I have a whistle.

    Bought this on vinyl on record store day and sadly not my cuppa tea..not a bad album just don't like it much. I also have Spirit's album Feedback and I like that one more than the former. 3/10 from me.

Think I'll have to buy the CD to play it on the 'big rig'. 8/10 from me.
    Buy it Martin
    Promise you will love it.

    Haven't played it since I started rating my albums
    but
    Almost certainly * rating
    (Out of category - must keep playing continuously)

    Can you change the rating system please

    I bought this album after hearing Natures Way.
    At that time (70s) I remember playing it and feeling a bit disappointed and it got neglected.

    During my change over from vinyl to CD>file I bought someone’s collection of CDs and this along with 3 other Spirit albums were in the collection.
    I quite like this album now although I still have moments when Spirit going 'freestyle' pushes the wrong buttons.
    Overall a decent album and worth hanging on to and playing from time to time.
    Some excellent tracks but not a great album overall.
    7/10
    Single spur balanced Mains. Self built music server with 3 seperate linear PSU, Intel i5, 16 GB RAM no hard drive (various Linux OS). Benchmark Dac2 HGC, single ended XLR interconnects/Belkin cable. Exposure 21RC Pre, Super 18 Power (recap & modified). Modded World Audio HD83 HP amp. Hand built Monitors with external crossovers , Volt 250 bass & ABR, Scanspeak 13M8621 Mid & Scanspeak D2905/9300 Hi. HD595 & Beyer 880 (600 ohm) cans.

    The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, and wiser people so full of doubts.
