Well, after re-aquainting myself with this after a gap of several years, I gave it 7/10 - 'cos it's "a good album". It's never going to make my 'Desert Island Discs' list, but well worth a listen.
1/10 Music for BOF's
2/10 Is this Prog? I hate Prog.
3/10 Same old thing.
4/10 Its alright I suppose.
5/10 Some nice sounds going on.
6/10 Quite like a couple of tracks.
7/10 This is a good album.
8/10 Great guitar and melodies.
9/10 Up there with the best of them.
10/10 A timeless classic , brilliant.

Much like Kieth has written above really.
It is a good album and I did go and see them live at Hemel Hempstead Pavilion many years ago.
I have only this album from Wishbone Ash and listening to it again recently I cant see this changing; one is enough.
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.
